Revision as of 19:47, 9 September 2006

Voter Guides is a base station for us to track what elections are coming up and what candidates & measures will be on the ballot. We can't do this without your help! Please find your region, and help us fill in the blanks. You know who will be on the ballot in your district better than we do.

There is lots of red because we have a lot of work to do!
