Candidates urged to respond to voter info questionnaire

The League of Women Voters of the Northwoods is inviting all county board supervisor candidates in Lincoln, Oneida and Vilas counties, as well as school board candidates in Rhinelander, Minocqua, Eagle River, Merrill and Tomahawk, to participate in its nonpartisan online voter guide at vote411.org for the upcoming April 7 elections.

Candidates should have received an email from Vote411 last week with questions which they can respond to directly. Vote411 is a trusted resource and candidates guide that provides voters with direct access to candidates’ responses on issues important to the community. Participation is free and offers candidates an opportunity to communicate their priorities to voters in their own words.

“Tens of thousands of Wisconsin voters rely on vote411 as their source for unbiased candidate information,” said a league representative. “We strongly encourage every candidate to take advantage of this opportunity to reach voters in a fair, accessible, and nonpartisan format.”

The voter guide is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin and will be live beginning March 15. Candidates who complete the questionnaire ensure voters have the information they need to make informed decisions on Election Day Tuesday, April 7.

The League of Women Voters of the Northwoods is a nonpartisan organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. It serves Forest, Florence, Lincoln, Langlade, Oneida and Vilas counties. More information is available at lwvnow.org or information@lwvnow.org.
