Los Angeles Elections Study Guide | The March 7, 2017 Ballot Explained Simply

A STUDY GUIDE FOR THE LOS ANGELES MARCH 7, 2017 ELECTIONS

We believe that real political change needs to happen at the city level. The only way to fix our political system is to ensure a strong foundation across the US. Our goal is to help voters understand who and what they are voting on.

We help break down what each measure is really saying, and what each candidate represents. We try to be as neutral as possible, but as an upfront note: our writers generally vote liberal.
