Milwaukee —  Ahead of the April 6 primary elections, the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County today published its online Spring 2021 Voter Guide via the nonpartisan election resource VOTE411.org. This “one-stop shop” for election information provides simple, easy tools to help Wisconsin voters navigate the voting process. VOTE411.org provides candidate information and views on issues, polling place information, and other helpful election information for voters nationwide.

“With limited opportunities to learn about the candidates in person, League’s VOTE411.org online Voter Guide is especially important for voters during the pandemic,” said Peggy Creer, president of the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County. “VOTE411 is the nation’s premiere nonpartisan online election resource.”

The Spring 2021 Primary Voter Guide contains candidate answers from those running in Milwaukee and Waukesha county-wide races, in municipal and school district races in Milwaukee County, and in municipal races in six Waukesha County communities. Their responses join those of candidates for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Court of Appeals, and State Senate District 13 gathered by the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.

“Good government, representative government begins at the local level,” said Creer.  “We encourage voters to visit VOTE411.org to make a voting plan so they are prepared to vote confidently on April 6, whether they choose to vote absentee prior to the election or in person on election day.”  Voters may request an absentee ballot at https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/VoteAbsentee.

The League of Women Voters works closely with local elections officials throughout the country to compile the information for VOTE411. VOTE411 helps millions of voters nationwide each year— many of them first-time voters — learn about candidate stances, look up what’s on their ballot, find their polling place, and more.

In addition to VOTE411, the League encourages active participation in government by conducting voter registration drives and candidate forums, get-out-the-vote social media messaging, and educational public forums on critical public policy issues.
