Vote411: Voter information from the League of Women Voters

Here's how to get the information on candidates and ballot issues that you need before you vote on November 6, 2018.

Go to VOTE411 and enter your street address, city, state, and zip code. Up pops your personalized ballot. Click away to find out more about candidates and other issues on your ballot. For example, here is the page that popped up when I entered my address in Washtenaw County, MI. Further clicking revealed my personalized ballot information .

There’s a lot to read, so allow time to study your ballot. 
In addition, here are local Washtenaw County videos of Forums and presentations.  

Two of the statewide ballot proposals on voting and redistricting are especially important. Here is a video presentation about them. 

This is a recorded discussion on Proposal 2, the Redistricting ballot proposal (a.k.a. Voters Not Politicians) that would create an independent citizens commission to draw the lines for legislative districts in Michigan. 

Here is another recorded discussion on Proposal 3 that seeks to make voting in Michigan more convenient, accessible and secure with 8 common sense improvements that would be secured in the Michigan constitution.
