Get a good Web address

A Web site is central to your campaign so refrain from using a long, rambling Web address that won't fit on a campaign sign or can't be easily remembered. There are several ways to do this.

• If your campaign carries any letter or a number between 1 and 100, you can use a free e-Elections Web address. Check out our list of free addresses and if you see one that works, fill out the form and we will add a link that directs voters to your long, rambling Web address. That way, the Web site for, say, "Measure A" can be http://www.members.aol.com/brownstack and the campaign can use www.YesOnA.com on all campaign material. These Web addresses are reserved for official campaign sites only.
  
  
• You can also lease a dedicated Web address. e-Elections has a stable of addresses that it leases to campaigns. Prices vary depending on the size of the campaign and include a host of services included in e-Elections' basic package. But this is one way to reserve one of our Web addresses for your campaign alone.
  
  
• You can buy an available Web address. Through Internet domain registry engines you can register an address if it is available and use it for your campaign. Be creative: An address such as www.NoMoreTaxes.com would be good for a campaign opposing a tax increase, for instance. It costs between $15 and $35 a year to purchase a Web address, depending on the registry service. Check out www.registrars.com, www.dotster.com, or www.networksoluntions.com to see what's available.
