Thank you for visiting the JoinCalifornia political archive. Since 2004, JoinCalifornia.com has grown into the largest online archive of California election results. We work continually to keep our candidate biographies updated with current information. Our records currently include state legislative races since 1898, and federal and statewide offices going back to 1849. This information includes 13,142 candidates running in 23,637 races in 474 elections.

As 2010 begins, we have begun work on a couple projects including filling in biographic information from the California Blue Book series and collecting information on the significant legislation that each member authored. On the 'current events' side (electionvolunteer.com), we are also seeing a ramp up in the candidates filing to run in the June 2010 Primary. Tracking of the primary campaigns and collection of biographical information for the candidates has begun, and we will hopefully be on top of current events as they develop. As always, let us know if you find anything that doesn't quite look right, errors do happen.

Thanks again for visiting,

The One Voter Project
