VOTE: Be informed with online guide

With the primary election fast approaching, the need for unbiased, nonpartisan voter information is critical. An informed and active electorate is the key to a healthy democracy, but how do we make that happen?

To assist Idaho voters as they go to the polls on May 15, the League of Women Voters of Idaho has published an online Voters’ Guide, www.VOTE411.org, which features information about candidates for statewide and congressional offices on the ballot.

By entering a street address into www.VOTE411.org and clicking “Show My Races,” any Idaho voter can access personalized ballot information — including answers from the candidates to specific questions.

As always, the election information provided by the League is nonpartisan; we never endorse or support parties or candidates. We hope voters in Idaho will use this Voters’ Guide to help make informed choices as they go to the polls on May 15, and we thank the candidates for their willingness to participate.

By providing the people of Idaho with, impartial information about elections, we hope to invigorate the electoral process and thereby strengthen our democracy.
