Well, yet another voting day is upon us, folks! Yes, that's right: Tuesday, June 6, 2006 is Election Day. There are a couple of important state propositions on the ballot, party primaries, and some judges and local government officials to elect. There are also a number of local propositions on ballots.

Feeling overwhelmed? Feel inadequately informed? Still haven't made up your mind about everything yet? Here are a list of places to go for information so you can make an informed decision:

League of Women Voters: Non-Partisan Election Information
http://smartvoter.org/
This is a great place to find information for all sides of an issue and lots of information about the candidates. You can even find out the ballot items for your particular street address as well as the location of your polling place!

San Jose Mercury News - General Election Information
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...tics/elections/
A wealth of articles on the candidates and the issues!

San Jose Mercury News Recommendations
http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews...ns/12993092.htm
This is a list of voter recommendations from the board of editors at the San Jose Mercury News. It offers some interesting editorials outlining the reasons for their choices.

San Francisco Chronicle - Voter's Guide
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c...INGNKJ2B671.DTL
This section offers articles on the various major candidates and issues, too (check out the links to the right of the main article).

San Francisco Chronicle Recommendations
http://www.sfgate.com/opinion/
Here, you'll find editorial pieces outlining the Chron's voter recommendations for candidates and issues. Like the Merc, these article offer interesting details about the candidates, and the reasoning behind their selection.

HAPPY VOTING!!
