If you are looking for nonpartisan information on candidates for the upcoming primary election on Sept. 4 (yes, the day after Labor Day), the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts has it for you!
The 2018 Voter’s Guide, found at www.informed voterma.org, is a quick and easy way to study the candidates and create a sample ballot that you can take into the voting booth. Voters can even send their ballot to a smartphone.
After entering your zip code and choosing a ballot—Democratic, Republican, or Libertarian—you will see a list of all candidates appearing on your ballot. The League of Women Voters has compiled information on each candidate’s education, experience, and their responses to a set of questions. These questions are the same across candidates for a specific office, so comparing positions is relatively straightforward. The League of Women Voters guide empowers and informs voters, which is a fundamental aspect of a democracy. See you at the polls!
