VOTE411.org
Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) in
October of 2006, VOTE411.org is
a "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It
provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and
state-specific information on the following aspects of the election
process:
- Absentee ballot information
- Ballot measure information (where applicable)
- Early voting options (where applicable)
- Election dates
- Factual data on candidates in various federal, state and local
races
- General information on such topics as how to watch debates with a
critical eye
- ID requirements
- Polling place locations
- Registration deadlines
- Voter qualifications
- Voter registration forms
- Voting machines
An important component of VOTE411.org is the polling place
locator, which enables users to type in their address and retrieve
the poll location for the voting precinct in which that address is
located. The League has found that this is among the most sought
after information in the immediate days leading up to, and on,
Election Day.
