The editorial standard

You need an explanation.
Not another opinion.

How every explanation on this site earns your trust.

01 / START WITH THE SOURCE

Official text comes first.

Every summary is based on the official state voter guide and the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state’s nonpartisan budget office.

02 / EXPLAIN BOTH CHOICES

Same space. Same standard.

Yes and No get equal treatment, with clear consequences and no endorsements or “recommended” votes.

03 / SHOW WHAT’S KNOWN

Make uncertainty visible.

Costs are the official estimates, and we say so when the impact is uncertain. Every proposition links to its source.

You don’t have to be an expert.

You deserve to understand the question before you answer it.
