Citizens and government benefit when voters are informed about candidates and ballot measures.
There should be a federal office responsible for informing voters by ensuring educational materials are available to all citizens, including: descriptions of measures, how the measure changes law, arguments by proponents and opponents, rebuttals by proponents and opponents, projected impact on government budgets, job descriptions for positions candidates seek including tasks performed, candidate statements describing why he or she is best qualified to perform tasks of the position.
Office responsibilities also include publicizing that material is available free and how to obtain it, whether electronic, hard copy, or redirecting to non-partisan organizations already providing similar material.
