The League of Women Voters takes immense pride in its nonpartisan stance. It is fundamental to our mission that the League never endorses or opposes political candidates or parties. To empower voters with unbiased information, we provide resources like the League of Women Voters Guide.
Understanding the League of Women Voters Guide
This guide is meticulously compiled to list candidates in contested races appearing on election ballots. These candidates are given the opportunity to answer questions carefully crafted by the League of Women Voters of Texas. This ensures voters receive candidate information directly from the source, allowing for informed decisions.
Comprehensive Coverage for Texas Voters
The LWV Texas Voters Guide offers broad coverage, encompassing all statewide races. Furthermore, it extends to races for the State Board of Education and Courts of Appeals. Recognizing the diverse electoral landscape, we also include races for U.S. Congress, Texas Senate, and Texas House districts that are not covered by a local League, ensuring comprehensive information access for as many voters as possible.
Candidate Outreach and VOTE411.org
To create a robust and informative guide, the League undertakes a thorough outreach process. We diligently attempt to contact each candidate through email and various other means, with at least three contact attempts made before the guide’s production deadline. For candidates who respond after the print deadline, their valuable responses are still included in VOTE411.org, our online, interactive version of the Voters Guide, ensuring no voice is unheard.
Utilizing the Voters Guide Effectively
The Voters Guide is designed for practical use. You are welcome to print the Voters Guide and bring it with you into the voting booth as a reference. It is important to remember that while mobile phones and electronic devices are prohibited in voting booths, paper guides are permitted. Therefore, ensure your voting choices are noted on paper when you go to vote.
For digital access, the Voters Guide is readily available online at VOTE411.org. By simply entering your address and zip code, you can access the races and candidates that will be on your specific ballot. This online platform allows you to compare candidates’ responses side-by-side and even print your personalized ballot to take to the polls as a helpful reminder.
