To serve even more California voters in 2024, CalMatters turned our nonpartisan, digital 2024 Voter Guide into a physical zine. More than 20 CalMatters staff, and even more CalMatters members, shared these colorful booklets in communities across the state.

Cover for the CalMatters Voter Guide zine, featuring the numbers 2024 interwoven with spot illustrations.; a bright yellow starburst sticker reads “Nonprofit and Nonpartisan News” next to the title text “CalMatters Voter Guide”
The text “2024 is already one of the most dramatic and historic presidential election years ever. Vice President Kamala Harris is going up against former President Donald Trump. And Californians will elect a new U.S. senator, decide on 10 statewide ballot propositions, and (perhaps) help decide which party controls the U.S. House. You have a lot of big decisions. Our 2024 California Voter Guide is here to help.”
