• The "official City" election stuff is all on the Austin City Clerk's Elections page.
• See the election calendar for early, regular and runoff voting dates as well as filing and reporting deadlines.

• The Hall Monitor, a web page maintained by KUT and the Monitor, has a simple, graphic interface with each of the districts highlighted and a list of everyone running for each seat, including links to the candidates' web sites and facebook pages. They also have links to find your new district and to register to vote. 
• Ken Martin of the The Austin Bulldog is doing in-depth background checks and analysis on as many candidates as they can get to. Since Mayoral Candidates Sheryl Cole and Mike Martinez have extensive public records by which they can be evaluated, editor Ken Martin has spent much of his energy shedding light on Steve Adler as a candidate. He has also attended, recorded, transcribed and published the candidates' scripted notes whenever he could get them for the campaign kick-off events that he has been able to attend.
• Michael King at the Austin Chronicle is their de facto Elections Page guy. The Chronicle will be doing more in-depth stories about races, and endorsements, as they get closer.
• The Austin League of Women voters will again collaborate with The Statesman to publish the LWV's famously informative non-partisan Voter's Guide which includes basic info and answers to a uniform set of questions asked of each candidate.   If you have nominations for city-wide questions that might be asked in the Voter's Guide you may send them to Frances McIntyre for consideration mcintyre.frances@gmail.com.

A few districts have set up sites for their area featuring more in-depth information and links about the issues and candidates in their district. Those that we know of are:

• District 7
• District 4
• In the near future, ImagineOneAustin.org will host district info as well.

• Austin Environmental Democrats will host a series of candidate endorsement meetings to make their choice for mayor and for the council members from all the districts. You must have joined or renewed your $10 membership 30 days prior to any of the meetings in which you wish to vote. So July 7th is the deadline if you want to participate in the first one, which includes the Mayor's race. You can join or renew your membership to the Austin Environmental Democrats online, or you can mail a check to: Austin Environmental Democrats, 604 West 11th Street, Austin TX 78701.

• Clean Water Action plans to release their proposed questions to the public for feedback and then will send the questionnaires out to all the candidates in August.
• We are waiting to hear back from Sierra Club. 

• There has already been a candidate briefing on waste hosted by the Austin Zero Waste Alliance in June.  There is also a video of this briefing forthcoming. 
• In past elections Solar Austin, Bike Austin, and others have hosted candidate briefings. 
• For the first time ever, a collaboration of KLRU, KUT, Leadership Austin and the Annette Strauss Center for Civic Life are pooling resources to develop a resource website that will showcase briefings on all relevant city topics, even host pages for any district that doesn't yet have their own. It's not live yet but it will be at ImagineOneAustin.org. Keep checking back for developments!
• In service of helping create an informed slate of candidates for Mayor and City Council, an impressive group of neutral organizations* are hosting a series of eight Imagine One Austin educational sessions geared toward candidates and their staffs needing to learn what the key issues are facing the City, but they are also open to the public. The series started Monday June 30th and continues for seven Mondays from 6-8pm on a wide variety of issues. They all take place at the LCRA Dalchau Service Cetner on Montopolis. http://leadershipaustin.org/2014/06/13/the-imagine-one-austin-information-series/
