Joyfriend A having a family crisis so guess I'll turn this afternoon into my Research my Ballot day.

Live in Oakland and, like me, voting at the last minute and need a progressive voting guide?

I'm using the #Oakland Rising Voter Guide here.

Clueless about that Alameda County Central Com'tee thingy?

There are slates!!

From the March 5 primary to the November general election, here are many of the key races you'll find on the ballot in 2024.

The Berkeley Scanner

GAH. Alameda County Superior Court Judges (5 & 12) - they never make this easy.

But some nifty googling has given me some good info (also, the political kerfuffle of Oakland/Alameda is almost Chicago-esque.)

OK! I am ready to fill out my ballot!!

Good luck to Joe.

@DeliaChristina What did you end up using for info on the judges?

Mercury News and East Bay Times had some editorials on the top candidates.

I followed references for each. Also Bar Associations have rankings of judges if they're already seated. But if they're new to the bench....oof.
