The League of Women Voters of California Education Fund publishes the Pros & Cons on the State Ballot Measures as a tabloid-sized newspaper in English. Copies are available from your local League of Women Voters; if your community does not have a local League, you may contact LWVCEF at 916-442-7215.

The League does not judge the merits of the arguments or guarantee their validity. Arguments come from many sources and are not limited to those found in the state ballot pamphlet.

The League of Women Voters of California is a nonpartisan organization committed to informed and active citizen participation in government. All citizens, men and women, of voting age are welcomed to join. The League has two roles, citizen education and advocacy. Our election services are carried out by the League of Women Voters of California Education Fund (LWVCEF) and exclude all advocacy.
