voter education

Students have created bilingual Voter Guides focused on California Ballot Measures and state and local elections for the Florence-Firestone community in every primary and general election in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022. These guides explained the measures and positions, and had individual student recommendations for each one.

In the November 2018 elections, 211 voters (66% of our supported voters) used our bilingual voter guide to help them vote. Seventy-one of these voters attended our Voter Education Party to learn more about ballot initiatives on the ballot.
