LWV election guide available in print, online

The League of Women Voters of Deschutes County announces the launch of the nonpartisan election resource www.VOTE411.org.

This “one-stop-shop” for election information provides simple tools to help OR voters navigate the voting process this November. VOTE411.org provides candidate information, voter registration tools, polling place locations and other helpful Election Day information.

Detailed candidate information, including candidates’ responses to questions, is available. Users can visit www.VOTE411.org and enter their address to find information from the candidates they will see on their ballot.

As voters, we need simple, helpful tools to help us navigate Election Day. This is one of the most important elections of our lifetime, and each one of us has an important role to play in weighing in on the issues and priorities that matter most for our community.

Nationally, in 2008, approximately 20 million voters found the information they needed through VOTE411.org, many of them young people and first-time voters.

VOTE411.org is convenient, easy and empowering. Please share it with my friends and family to help them prepare for Election Day.

Also, Voter Guides for Central Oregon are available at all Library branches, the Senior Center and the County Clerks Office.
