Could it be possible that this agonizing election cycle has yet to draw to a close? The good news is that there's now less than one week before Nov. 8th, which means it's crunch time for voters looking to educate themselves about the issues.
Luckily, there are plenty of non-partisan, no-endorsement guides out there to demystify the many city and statewide propositions on this year's ballot.
San Francisco Public Press
The SF Public Press groups all the city's ballot measures into categories like "Housing/Development," "Raising Taxes," and "Policing," and has a detailed article about each measure in its "Breaking Down the Ballot" election guide.
Voter's Edge
This collaboration between MapLight and the League of Women Voters includes detailed information on all races, candidates and ballot measures, including campaign contribution sources and resume bullet points. You can create your own slate as you work through the race and ballot measure info, and take advantage of the ample information on polling places, registration deadlines, voting rights and more.
League of Women Voters
The League of Women Voters also has its own trove of detailed voting information, including a pro/con guide to the ballot propositions and an "easy voter guide" available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean.
KQED
KQED's Election 2016 is a central hub for substantial election coverage, broken down by issues like the economy, immigration, marijuana and more, including deeper dives into each of the state ballot propositions.
Hoodline
And don't forget about our Election Guide tool, a "guide to the guides" which allows you to choose from dozens of local organizations to see where they land on the issues and candidates.
And finally, a PSA: today is the last day voters can request a ballot to be mailed to them ahead of next week's election. Mailed or hand-delivered applications must be received by the Department of Elections no later than 5pm, and online applications must be submitted before midnight tonight.
