If you work with students, clients, or know someone who would answer yes to any of the following questions, you may want to order the Easy to Read Voting Guide from Oregon Literacy:
- Do you ever have a hard time understanding what you are voting on?
- Do you wish ballot measures were easier to read?
- Do you want people running for office to use works you can read and understand?
The Easy to Read Voting Guide uses easier words and pictures to help you better understand the issues. It also provides information about the people who are running for office and what they fhink is important. The guide DOES NOT try to get anyone to vote one way or another. Instead, it provides clear and unbiased information so voters can make up their own mind.
Individuals and organizations can request free printed copies of the Easy to Read Guide, available in English or Spanish, filling our our online request from here, or by calling 1-800-322-8715 or e-mailing us here. The Guide is also available as a PDF document: click on the links below.
