About Elections Division Welcome to the Secretary of State Elections and Voter Information Page. We are still developing some portions of this site. Ultimately by browsing through this site, you will find information on ballot initiatives, candidate filing, and voter registration. The Secretary of State's Elections Division has a wide variety of responsibilities in administering elections in California. Our division is responsible for everything from certifying the official lists of candidates to determining which types of voting systems are acceptable for use in California. The Elections Division advises candidates and local elections officials on the qualifications and requirements for running for office, provides guidance on choosing acceptable candidate ballot designations, and determines the order of the candidates on the ballot. The Elections Division tracks and certifies ballot initiatives. If a state measure goes on the ballot, the Elections Division has verified that it has met the requirements for placement. Once those candidates are placed on the ballot, the Elections Division coordinates the tabulation of the votes from each county on election night. The Elections Division is responsible for producing the official Statements of Vote after each election. These are the official compilation of vote totals for a given election. Our Division also has a comprehensive Voter Registration and Outreach Team. This team's scope of responsibilities include printing registration forms, encouraging registration and voter turnout, and producing several voter information publications. Please visit us often as we add more information to this site for this and future elections.
