The Bay Area’s Most Comprehensive 2024 Voter Guide Is Here

THE KQED VOTER GUIDE IS THE BAY AREA’S GO-TO RESOURCE FOR MAKING INFORMED VOTING DECISIONS ON EVERY LOCAL ELECTION.

This year, Bay Area voters are faced with a dizzying number of election choices with broad implications for their municipalities and counties, for the state and even the nation. Despite a proliferation of Bay Area voter guides, only one provides a wholly comprehensive resource of all the races on every Bay Area ballot.

The 2024 KQED Voter Guide, available now, is the only guide that covers each of the elections in all nine Bay Area counties, as well as the statewide and national races on local ballots. Created by KQED’s trusted expert team of political reporters and journalists, this guide empowers voters with independent and non-partisan information. We cover all of the candidates, propositions and measures on each ballot, so voters can make informed decisions based on their personal priorities and values. From deciphering complex local and state ballot measures to sharing where candidates stand on key issues to simplifying the voting process, the KQED Voter Guide covers it all. 

KQED has made the digital voter guide a regular part of its public service and is continually expanding the guide with each election, helping the station to earn an Edward R. Murrow award for “Excellence in Innovation” for its 2022 guide. And now for the first time ever, the KQED Voter Guide will cover every single race and measure across all nine of the Bay Area counties KQED serves, as well as the presidential and state races. And the guide provides a section of voters’ Frequently Asked Questions that includes information on how to review the status of your voter registration, how to vote in person or by mail and what to do if you make a mistake on your ballot.

The KQED Voter Guide is free to use and easily accessible. Check it out at kqed.org/voterguide

Unlike other guides, the KQED Voter Guide does not endorse candidates and clearly discloses who funds specific state propositions. As an independent and non-commercial organization, KQED provides accurate information so voters can cast their ballots based on their own beliefs. The guide provides new information on how it was developed to ensure transparency.

Finally, after polls close, the KQED Voter Guide site will become the most comprehensive local election results site in the Bay Area, providing the most up-to-date polling numbers as they come in through December 5, when the election results become certified. In an effort to better ensure all Bay Area residents have a clear understanding of what’s at stake on this year’s ballots, KQED will be launching a Spanish-language version of the guide as well.
