I just tried to vote by mail. My complaint is that neither of the informational brochures discussing the candidates and measures contains an INDEX. Sometimes the brochures have information but sometimes they don't. None of the voting on judges is meaningful without some background on who they are, what their values are, what they've done, etc. (This is in Los Angeles).
Contact your party's local citizen group. They should have a handout with their recommendations.
Got our ballots in the mail and the same day I voted and put the ballot into the collection box outside the County Building. Easy Peasy.
I look at each judge candidate's background.
It's good if he/she was a public defender and supports positive alternatives to jail like drug rehab, returning to school or community service. It shows they have a heart and see each individual as a person.
