This is awesome. Encouraging potential voters to engage, understand, and participate in democracy is a good thing. Once registered, hopefully they will stay registered and participate for the rest of their lives.

Besides the big name top of the ballot Presidential election there are many down ballot elections to consider. There are house elections, senate elections (in some states), local elections, as well as propositions, etc.

With the wall-to-wall coverage of the Presidential election, it is easy to forget that the wheels of our democratic American system turn at multiple levels.

E.g.: Your local school board matters. Your judges (if elected where you live) matter.

Here are two summaries of California's propositions:

I like http://www.peterates.com/ as well, informative and accessible reviews (with vote recommendations) for California propositions.
