Field notes
The page organizes the statewide measures by Taxes, Housing, Elections, Health, Budget, and Building, and offers a print option. Its stated method starts with official voter-guide text and Legislative Analyst’s Office material, then gives Yes and No equal space and labels cost figures as official estimates. It explicitly excludes local measures and directs readers to county sample ballots; the extracted homepage does not expose individual proposition write-ups for checking.
