Brandon Whiting is reporting for The Legislative Gazette the League of Women’s Voters Education Fund has released the election tool, "The Voter's Guide, at vote411 [dot] org, which "helps to alleviate some of the concerns and questions that voters might have this election season." Voters can use Vote411 [dot] org to check their voter registration status, find their early voting and Election Day polling sites, and find deadlines for voter registration and absentee voting. They can also receive an in-depth breakdown of all relevant elections in their area, with information being provided on State Assembly, Senate and congressional elections, as well as the presidential election. Once a voter enters their location, they can then click on relevant elections in their area and read short biographies for each candidate. The website also features candidates answers to relevant questions, helping to reveal each candidate’s policy positions. In-person voting for the presidential election will be held November 3; and early voting is from October 24 to November 1. For those who wish to vote by absentee ballot, ballots must be sent through the mail by October 27 at the latest, but to ensure that the ballot gets there on time, it is recommended that voters send their ballots in at least two weeks before the election. Read more in The Legislative Gazette.
