New Online Sources for Voter Information

The good folks at the San Francisco Department of Elections have updated their web site for the upcoming November elections . Lots of good information including San Francisco Poll locations and links to current voter pamphlets.

On a regional level the Bay Area Outreach Committee (BAOC) is a joint effort of 12 Bay Area Counties and the Secretary of State that was set up to meet state and Federal laws requiring each county to develop a voter outreach program to increase registration and participation in the electoral process. Their web site  contains information about the greater Bay Area election scene. Included are phone numbers for information on voting in California in English, Spanish,  Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese,  Tagalog and Korean.
