Build your ballot with the VOTE411 voter guide

The LWVWI Education Fund has called on candidates statewide office and state legislature to share their positions on several key policy issues, including reforms designed to reduce the influence of special interests in elections and to promote a fair and transparent process for drawing legislative district lines in 2011. The League also sent questionnaires to candidates for U.S. Senate and Wisconsin’s eight seats in the House of Representatives.

 

Click here to read the candidates' answers. By typing in your address, you can access just those races you are eligible to vote in, or you may check out all of them. Candidates' positions can be compared side-by-side, and you may print out a "ballot" indicating your preferences to take with you to the polls as a reminder.
