The League of Women Voters – Whitewater Area (LWV-WW) reminds voters to get ready to vote in the upcoming April 4 Spring Election. Appearing on the ballot are candidates running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and regional judge races for the court of appeals and circuit courts. Other local races in Walworth and Jefferson counties include city councils, school boards, and boards that govern counties, villages, and towns. Some communities will also be casting their vote on referenda. The League encourages voters to start their research before casting their ballot, so they are informed whether they vote by absentee ballot or on Election Day.

One source of nonpartisan candidate information is the League’s voter guide on VOTE411.org LWV-WW asked candidates running in competitive races to participate in the Spring Election Voter Guide in which voters can read candidates’ responses to the League’s questionnaires. By visiting the site, voters can compare the answers posted verbatim of the candidates. Please note: Not all candidates chose to respond.

Questions in VOTE411 are presented in English and Spanish. Candidates were encouraged to provide answers in both languages.
