Davis Media Access (DMA) has produced a variety of voter education programs related to the upcoming Nov. 8, 2016 election. Coverage of local elections is core to DMA’s mission of strengthening community through media, and a free community service we've been been proud to offer for nearly 28 years.
Programming to date for this election cycle includes "Meet the Candidates" for the following races: Davis School Board; CA Assembly 4th District, CA Senate 3rd District, CA Congressional 3rd District, Los Rios Community College Board of Trustees - Area 4 and Yolo County Board of Education Board of Trustees - Area 4 . Also featured is:
"2016 DJUSD School Board Candidate Forum," sponsored by the Davis Vanguard. Recorded by Davis Media Access at Davis Community Chambers on Sept. 18, 2016.
Additional voter education programming is expected in the weeks leading up to the election, including statements on local parcel tax Measure H. Due to the limited number of local candidates, DMA will not offer a live election-night program this cycle.
