We're getting closer to Election Day, need a little help cutting through the noise?

A nonpartisan website called California Choices has been updated with pro and con arguments, polling data, video clips, press coverage and endorsements for November's statewide candidates and propositions.

"When you hear or see an ad on the radio or the TV, it's an advocate piece and you're not always sure what you can believe," said Noel Perry, the founder of the nonprofit group Next 10. "But if you go to the website, what we present is factual information."

Perry's organization has partnered with UC Berkeley and Sacramento State to provide in-depth analysis of arguments and the endorsement page relflects the 30 large unions, newspaper editorial boards and environmental groups.

The site also includes a "Save My Votes" feature where users can fill out a mock ballot. Visit it here.
