This year, New Jersey voters can learn non-partisan information about candidates by going to the League of Women Voters’ new, online guide at VOTE411.org. By entering their address, voters can find out if they are registered and the location of their polling place, see their ballot and compare the responses of candidates to League questions. Voters will also find interpretations of ballot questions, including the pros and cons for supporting them.
Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund in October of 2006 and introduced state by state, VOTE411 is a “one-stop-shop” for election-related information. Now that the League of Women Voters of New Jersey has joined, local Leagues hope that voters seeking non-partisan information about local races–such as township committee and school board–will go to VOTE411.org.
On Thursday, October 20 from 6:30-7:30 PM, 12th Congressional District candidates Steven Uccio and Bonnie Watson Coleman will meet in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters. The forum is hosted by The College of New Jersey, Ewing, in the music building’s Mayo Hall. Questions will be taken from the audience, and videotape of the forum will be posted at VOTE411.org.
