Steve,
Thank you for your interest in writing ballot arguments for the 2022 election. These ballot arguments are vital to educating the voters. The Secretary of State’s office sends out a publicity pamphlet with all submitted ballot arguments to every registered voter about a month before the election.
The cost of submitting a ballot argument is $75. The Ballot Measure Committee is willing to sponsor some arguments that will include a disclaimer that it is being “sponsored” by the committee. It would be favorable if there were a variety of arguments received from individuals as well as those sponsored by the club to not appear skewed. Volume matters!
We have included information that we went over in the in-person and online events we held on 5/18.
Here is the link for the 2020 voter pamphlet to use for examples:
If you would like some specific examples for these specific initiatives, please let me know and I can send some to you.
This is the link for submitting arguments directly to the SOS
This is the full language for the “Free & Fair” Elections initiative that is being circulated for signatures:
Please refer to the Voter ID website and FAQ questions for talking points:
