Sacramento, Calif. – In recognition of National Voter Education Week 2024, California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., urges all eligible Californians to become informed and active participants in the upcoming elections.
“An engaged voter is the backbone of our democracy,” said Secretary Weber. “I encourage every Californian to take advantage of National Voter Education Week to learn about the voting process, understand the issues at stake, and make a plan to cast your ballot.”
Californians are encouraged to visit the official Voter Guide at voterguide.sos.ca.gov for comprehensive information on candidates, ballot measures, and important election dates. And they are encouraged to review their county Voter Guides for information related to their local elections.
