On Nov. 6, Palo Alto voters will decide on new members of the City Council and Board of Education in addition to four local measures that seek to raise the hotel tax, cap health care costs, limit the terms of school board members and fund school district construction projects.

Over the past six months, the Palo Alto Weekly has been reporting on each candidate, hosted a debate and weighed the pros and cons of each local issue on the ballot. In the links below, we've compiled a list of our stories to serve as a guide for voters with Election Day fast approaching. This article will be updated as more stories are posted in the coming weeks.
