The Quick Guide to Propositions is one of the easiest ways for Californians to get key information about statewide ballot measures. It provides an overview of each measure that's easy to understand - as well as important information about who is funding campaigns for and against the measures.
Built in partnership between MapLight and the Secretary of State, the Quick Guide to Propositions launched on October 13, 2016 at https://quickguidetoprops.sos.ca.gov.
Development of the Quick Guide to Props was generously funded with a grant from The James Irvine Foundation with the goal of improving political transparency in California.
The Quick Guide to Propositions uses campaign finance data generated by Cal-Access Power Search. For a local installation, be sure to install an instance of Cal-Access Power Search first.
More installation guidance can be found in the Operation and Maintenance Guide.
