At McKesson, we care a lot about public policy and civic engagement because we know that the decisions made in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and in State Houses across the country can have a profound impact on our business and the lives of our employees.

That's why we encourage everyone to get involved in federal, state, and local elections. Below is some basic information that we hope will make it easier for you to participate.

Visit your state's election page to learn about voter registration deadlines, candidates and polling locations.

Learning about the issues: For many voters, the hardest part of Election Day is deciding who to vote for. We're trying to make it easy. Here are some tips for doing your election research.

Official Voter Guides
Most states publish official voter guides with candidate bios, sample ballots, and summaries and analysis on ballot measures. Search online for your state’s voter guide or visit your state's official election website (see above).

Non-Partisan Voter Information
There are many reputable non-partisan voter organizations that can help you decide how to fill out your ballot. Here are two that are highly respected:

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, produces a personalized online voter guide where you can find a sample ballot, view candidates’ answers to specific questions, and find links to the candidates’ websites.

Project Vote Smart is a non-partisan, non-profit research center dedicated to providing access to information about candidates and ballot measures. It’s funded exclusively through individual contributions and philanthropic foundations. Search for candidate’s positions, bios, fundraising, recent speeches. They have information on ballot measures and even have an app that allows you to enter your public policy views and matches you to a candidate.

Interest Groups and Partisan Voter Information
It wouldn’t be politics without political parties and interest groups. No matter what you believe, these groups can be a great resource for election research. They offer insight into who’s backing who and why. Here are some ideas of groups that frequently endorse candidates for office and back or oppose ballot measures. Search for you local chapter and find their endorsement page.

• Democratic and Republican Parties Other Political Parties (Green, Independent, etc.)
• Business Groups (Chambers of Commerce, State/Local Industry Associations, etc.)
• Environmental Groups (Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters, etc.)
• Labor Unions

Candidates for office usually have their own websites that can tell you more about their positions, background and often include a list of endorsements.

Proponents and opponents of ballot measures often have websites with further information and endorsements.
