Today’s the day! Millions of people are headed to the polls to cast their ballots in a very close presidential election. They are also voting in state and local elections, school board elections, and ballot questions. Keeping track of all the choices can be difficult.  I have to admit, there have been times when I looked at a sample ballot and wondered, “what exactly does an Orphan’s Court Judge do, and how do I find out anything about these candidates??” 

The decisions made today will affect our schools, our children, fellow citizens, country, and the world.  That’s where the League of Women Voters can be of help. Just go to Vote411.

I entered my address, then clicked the green “Get personalized information on candidates and issues” box. When I filled out the Personalized Ballot, I was taken to the Voter 411 Voter Guide.

You just click on the down arrow to the right of “Vote 411 Voter Guide” and select the information you would like to see. I chose “All my races.” 

You can view all the choices that will appear on your ballot when you go to vote, and also research further on the site to get information about the candidates and both sides of questions on your ballot.

 I voted early this year, but am still excited about election day. So, no matter whom you choose, remember to get out and vote!
