California voters have access to numerous online tools provided by government agencies to help facilitate the voting process.

The statewide tools require a voter to enter sensitive information in order to access. County-based lookup tools typically require less data to access.

CVF urges California voters to excercise caution when using online voter tools and avoid entering sensitive personal information when connected to public WiFis in places such as airports, hotels and cafes.
