Voters looking to learn more about fall elections will find all the info they need at Vote411.org, the League of Women Voters’ (LWV) website that provides a nonpartisan wealth of information all in one place.
Topics include absentee voting, registering to vote, candidate information and polling locations, among many others.
“By simply entering your address, you will find resources tailored just for you, such as the races in your area, registration and voting deadlines, and your own polling location,” said Hamilton County LWV President Lisa Dick. “Whether you are a first-time voter, occasional voter or experienced voter, you’ll find lots of guidance when you use this resource.”
Dick said LWV members work during each election cycle to gather information for the Hamilton County part of the Vote411 site. For example, members have contacted candidates for offices from Indiana’s 5th Congressional district to state offices to county council seats with a list of survey questions. Participation is optional for the candidates, but Dick said LWV members encourage all who are running for office to be part of Vote411.org.
LWV will also post videos of its local candidate forums on the site later in September. The site soon will feature a downloadable local voting information pamphlet that users can print or easily share.
In addition to their local information, visitors to the site may check out races around the state and country.
Launched in 2006, Vote411.org is one of several programs that serve the mission of LWV of the United States. The group has worked since 1920 to improve U.S. systems of government and impact public policies through education and advocacy. Strictly nonpartisan, LWV neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government.
