The League of Women Voters – Whitewater Area (LWV-WW) reminds voters to get ready to vote in the upcoming April 5 Spring Election. Appearing on the ballot are candidates for three district courts 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, where voters can go to read candidates’ responses to the League’s questionnaires. Voters can learn more about the candidates running for Appellate Court Judge in Districts II, III, and IV. LWV-WW asked candidates running in competitive races to participate in the Spring Election Voter Guide. Not all candidates chose to respond.

In addition to the voter guide on VOTE411.org, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin has created a fact sheet for the court of appeals with information on what this court does and why it matters in the lives of everyday Wisconsinites. This fact sheet is available on LWVWI’s website.

Voters can access candidate information for many local races by using the League’s voter guide on VOTE411.org.
