PURPOSE
Like the City's printed Voter
Guide, the Video Voter Guide is designed to provide New Yorkers
with profiles of candidates that will help them make more informed
decisions in the voting booth.
The Video Voter Guide is a project of the Voter
Assistance Commission, in partnership with NYCTV. In addition,
two members of VAC, the NYC
Campaign Finance Board, and Board
of Elections provided assistance and expertise in implementing
the program.
AUDIENCE
The Video Voter Guide will air on NYC TV channel 74, which reaches
all off the approximately 1.7 million cable households in the five
boroughs. Additionally, the Campaign Finance Board's on-line printed
Voter Guide will link to the Video Voter Guide, which will also
be available for viewing at http://www.nyc.gov/videovoterguide.
STATEMENTS
As with the City's printed Voter Guide, candidates prepare statements
that convey their reasons for seeking office and reflect the key
planks of their platforms. Candidates present their statements in
the language(s) of their choice. Translations are provided in Spanish
(Citywide), Chinese (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens) and Korean
(Queens).
