Ahead of the 2024 general elections, the League of Women Voters of WV offers the nonpartisan election resource VOTE411.org. This “one-stop shop” for election information provides West Virginia voters with simple, accessible tools to help them navigate the voting process. VOTE411 provides personalized candidate information, early voting dates, polling place locations, and other helpful election information for all voters nationwide.
“From city council races to the presidential election, it is crucial voters in West Virginians make their voices heard this election year,” said Autumn Summers, Voter Service Chair of the LWV of WV. “VOTE411 provides voters with the resources they need to make an informed vote this fall. The League of Women Voters of WV has published our voter guide on VOTE411 as a resource for all West Virginia voters so they are prepared to vote confidently.”
With resources available in both English and Spanish, VOTE411 helps millions each year — many of them young people and first-time voters — learn more about what’s on their ballot, how to find their polling place, and more.
Additionally, the LWV of WV’s nonpartisan voter guide is designed to help voters understand where candidates stand on the issues they care about most. To make our guides, we asked local, state, and federal candidates about issues of importance to our communities. Candidates’ responses are shared word for word.
“The League of Women Voters of WV is pleased to provide this important, nonpartisan resource to West Virginia voters,” said Summers. “However, despite repeated outreach from the League and VOTE411, some candidates have not yet answered our questions. Voters deserve to hear directly from all candidates running for office in their communities. We’re asking all candidates to respond so voters will know where they stand on the issues that matter to them.”
Candidates or voters with questions about VOTE411 can contact LWV of WV at lwvofwv@gmail.com.
In West Virginia, early voting for the November 5th general election begins Wednesday, October 23rd and ends Saturday, November 2nd. Locations and hours for early voting in all 55 counties can be found here.
In addition to VOTE411, voters can access a variety of online tools through the Secretary of State’s voter information portal at GoVoteWV.com.
