Voter Minutes are short explainer videos that provide a concise overview of a ballot measures, for instance: what a yes or no vote means, who is for and against a measure, and where one can go for more information. Video Voter first produced Voter Minutes for the 2004 statewide measures and we have been producing the award winning segments for every California election since. Voter Minutes have been distributed via multiple channels including cable television on LA36, The Santa Barbara Channels, Monrovia TV, Calabasas City TV and The California Channel; online at CGS.org, KPCC.org, and most notably on YouTube at the CGS branded channel. Voter Minutes have also been featured on cable's On Demand through Time Warner, Cox Cable, and Comcast. Video Voter recently partnered with Easy Voter Guide and Univision to produce Voter Minutes in Spanish, which were broadcast on Univision channels throughout California.
