Next November election marks 13 years that VOTE411.org, the League’s innovative one-stop voter information hub, has been online. It is both an on-line voter registration tool and serves as an on-line voter’s guide to candidates and ballot issues. At the website VOTE411.org, for the 2018 General Election voters in the Smith County area will find candidate responses to questions critical to voters, as well as background information on the candidates. By entering one’s home address on VOTE411.org voters can compare candidate responses to League questions and much more! They can find their polling places and build a ballot, seeing the races and comparing candidates' positions side-by-side. You can print out a "ballot," indicating your preferences as a reminder, and take it with you to the polls on Election Day.
Thanks to special funding from LWV-Texas Education Fund, the online voters’ guide VOTE411 will be available to area voters for the 2020 General Election
