Election day is now three weeks away, and the Chronicle will be focusing on drug policy-related races across the country between now and then. With most people's attention focused on whether the Democrats will regain control of the House and/or Senate, the drug policy-related races and ballot questions are not getting much attention, except at the local and state level, but there are some important drug policy-related questions being decided on election day. Expect to see a lot of articles focused on the elections between now and November 7, and, of course, the Friday following the election.

Here is a list of the races and ballot questions we'll be reporting on:

Marijuana legalization initiatives—Colorado and Nevada

Medical marijuana initiative—South Dakota

"Lowest law enforcement priority" initiatives—Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica, Missoula, MT; Eureka Springs, AR

Alabama governor's race—Drug reformer Loretta Nall is in a write-in campaign

Connecticut governor's race—Drug reformer Cliff Thornton is running as a Green

Maryland senate race—Drug reformer Kevin Zeese is running as a Green/Libertarian unity candidate

Are there any I have failed to list? Please let me know.
