Civic Education in 2010 Discussion with County Registrars CACEO New Law Conference December 10, 2009

2010 = Tough Year for Voters Overwhelming Number of Choices Gov. race; long ballot of state & local offices More propositions than usual in November, most on complex topics Poorly Prepared Don’t understand state/local fiscal issues High distrust in government (which discourages learning)

Nonpartisan Help for Voters Groups collaborating: Next 10, CVF, LWVCEF, California Forward, others Focus on fiscal and reform issues Creating tools voter educators and voters can access early in 2010 Background information with context across the propositions

CA Choices Reform Clearinghouse www.CaliforniaChoices.org (February 2010) From Next 10 and Stanford’s Bill Lane Center “One stop shop” about CA governance reforms to help people understand the issues & options Organized to help policy enthusiasts, general voters and community educators Nonpartisan reform descriptions, pros/cons, polling data, expert blog, links to reports, etc.

EVG Fast Facts From the LWVCEF Easy Voter Guide Project: Multi-lingual user-friendly primers First topics: budget & taxes, ballot measures, state elected offices, political parties Combines community-tested language with expert review Can download at www.easyvoter.org in January

Discussion with Counties Interest in and capacity for outreach Who has outreach staff? Outreach committees? Links for voters on website? Want more tools about how to vote? Want to help voters make more informed choices?
