BAFFLED BY TODAY’S BALLOT? CHECK THESE VOTER GUIDES AND RESOURCES

June 5, 2012 (San Diego) – For many, the array of issues and candidates on  today's ballot can be confusing.  This is the first election to implement California’s new top-two primary system. Instead of seeing all candidates in your own party, your ballot will include candidates from all parties running for each race, except president.
