VOTE411 and THE VOTER GUIDE

Get the Election Information You Need before you vote!  VOTE411.org is a “one-stop-shop,” for nonpartisan election-related information. Funded by the League of Women Voters Education Fund, Vote411.org  provides local, state and national election information.

Find out “What’s On Your Ballot,” learn where candidates running for office in your community stand on the issues, build a printable Sample Ballot, and find Polling Place information, Debate and Forum dates and links, all from the Vote411 dashboard.

LWVKA contributes local information to Vote411 and also produces a printed Voter Guide during general elections, which is offered free to Kalamazoo County residents.  The Voter Guide provides a print version for many of the elected positions including candidate bios and answers to questions relevant to the positions they seek, as well as important local and state election-related information. Watch this space for The Voter Guide (generally published prior to General Elections.) Read Past Issues of the Voter Guide.
