Publications
In addition to the comprehensive database of information
that we offer online, Project Vote Smart also produces two major publications:
The Voter's Self-Defense Manual and the Reporter's Source
Book. These publications help inform the public about the elected officials
that represent them, educate the public about major election issues,
and outline the components of the Voter's Self-Defense System. Both
publications are funded as a gift from the 46,000 members of PVS and
are updated every two years for each general election.
