ELECTIONS AND VOTER INFORMATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Elections Division oversees all federal and state elections within
California. In every statewide election, California prepares voter information
pamphlets in ten languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer,
Korean, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese — for approximately 22 million registered
voters. As the chief elections officer for the largest state in the nation, the
California Secretary of State tests and certifies all voting equipment for
security, accuracy, reliability and accessibility in order to ensure that every
vote is counted as it was cast. The Secretary also ensures election laws and
campaign disclosure requirements are enforced, maintains a statewide database of
all registered voters, certifies the official lists of candidates for elections,
tracks and certifies ballot initiatives, compiles election returns and certifies
election results, educates California citizens about their voting rights, and
promotes voter registration and participation.
