​

League of Women Voters VOTERS GUIDE information in the Primary Elections is now available on the VOTE411.org website.

To use this website, click on the link above, then:

​

• Click on 'Find What's on Your Ballot.'

• Fill in your address and hit 'Submit.'

• Under 'Choose My Party', choose 'Show All' (to show candidates from both parties), 'Democratic', or 'Republican;' then Click on 'Go to My Races.'

• Choose the language you want the guide to be in: English or Spanish. Click on 'Go to My Races.'

   

You may then see candidates' responses to the League of Women Voters questionnaires for the Primary Elections.

 

The VOTE411 website tailors the races you see to your voting location, so you do not have to figure out which county you live in or which races will be on your ballot. VOTE411 also allows you to compare candidates' responses side-by-side.
