Non-partisan Online Voters Guide Available at VOTE411.org sponsored by League of Women Voters
Not sure for whom to vote Nov. 3? Read and compare the candidates views on a variety of issues.
The League of Women Voters of Virginia and Falls Church have joined forces to provide a non-partisan online voters’ guide for the November 3 general election. The guide, which can be accessed at www.vote411.org, enables voters to obtain information about the candidates for Virginia Senate, Virginia House of Delegates, Clerk of Court, Commonwealth Attorney, Falls Church City Council and Falls Church School Board.
Voters accessing the web tool are asked to type in their street name, city, state and zip code. After pressing “Enter” a menu of options is available including “Get personalized information on candidates and issues.” By clicking on “Show My Races,” the online resource/tool presents the candidates for each office that the voter will find on his ballot. Voters can choose to review each race individually or click on “All My Races.” The positions of any two candidates can be compared at one time. In cases where there are more than two candidates running—as is the case, for instance, with the Falls Church City Council and School Board—a voter can compare the statements provided by two candidates and then click “Change Candidates” to compare the positions of two more.
The tool also provides a link through which voters can confirm that they are properly registered to vote.
