CALIFORNIA 2010 BALLOT

Born out of frustration and a desire to understand and participate in California's upcoming November 2nd election, Chelsea Kent and Derek Rushforth, California Web Designers and Developers, came together to create Clear Vote LA.

With a focus on delivering straightforward information on the propositions and the candidates for Governor, Clear Vote LA strives to present an unbiased source of what will be on the 2010 ballot. With the goal of presenting the election in an easy to read manner, our hope is to attract a younger generation of voters who otherwise could be intimidated by the process.
