The League of Women Voters of the Whitewater Area reminds voters in Walworth and Jefferson counties to get ready to vote in the upcoming April 1st Election. On the ballot this election are local candidates running for town, village and city offices such as municipal board members and school board members. Several Walworth and Jefferson County communities and school districts also have referendum language on the ballot. The League encourages voters to start their candidate research before they cast their ballot.  

One source of nonpartisan candidate information is the League’s Voters’ Guide on VOTE411.org, where voters can go to read local and state candidates’ responses to the League’s questionnaire. By visiting the site, voters can find out what’s on their ballot and compare the candidates’ answers, which are posted verbatim. Responses received from local candidates in contested races in Walworth and Jefferson counties have been posted on VOTE411.org.

Communities and school districts impacted include:

Walworth Co:  Bloomfield, Clinton, Delevan, Elkhorn, Geneva, Lake Geneva, Richmond, Sharon, Walworth, Whitewater, Williams Bay

Jefferson Co:  Cambridge, Cold Spring, Fort Atkinson, Ixonia, Johnson Creek, Koshkonong, Lake Mills, Oakland, Palmyra 

In addition to the Voters’ Guide on VOTE411.org, the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin has created factsheets for state and local elected offices. Learn what these offices are responsible for and how they impact the lives of everyday Wisconsinites. To view the factsheets, visit the WI State League website.

The League encourages voters to prepare to vote, visit VOTE411.org, and remind others about Election Day on April 1st.
