League of Women Voters Offers Website for Election Information

DEARBORN, MI – The League of Women Voters of Dearborn / Dearborn Heights wants to make sure voters have all of the right tools before going to the polls, and is providing a rich source of election information.

“Every competitive race is important,” said Betsy Cushman, the Dearborn / Dearborn Heights League of Women Voters president. "Judges make decisions which impact your lives, so you want the most qualified District, Circuit, Court of appeals and state Supreme Court judicial candidates to win. Read their responses to our questions, and decide for yourself…BEFORE you vote!”

The website VOTE411.org is a nonpartisan "one-stop-shop" for all election related materials for Dearborn and Dearborn Heights voters. VOTE411 prepares voters with more information about down ballot candidates and issues than any other voter resource, a League press release states. Voters simply enter their home address to learn about offices and ballot questions, and compare candidate responses to League questions. Information is also provided on the federal, state and local races.

There are printed versions of the Voter Guides in public libraries, city halls and other sites around our communities. The State Voter Guide covers state-wide races such as Supreme Court and State Education Boards, and the Dearborn/Dearborn Heights Voter Guide covers Wayne County, State Representative, and local School Board races, and local ballot proposals.

“Voting is the one time when all citizens have an equal say in standing up for the issues and priorities that matter most to us and our community,” said Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters of the United States. “No matter the outcome, this election will determine the future of our country and impact the lives of every single one of us.”
