At its 2012 Annual Conference, the American Library Association’s Council unanimously passed a resolution opposing voter suppression. On the heels of that resolution, ALA supported Vote 411, a tool produced by the League of Women Voters, that is a “one-stop-shop” for election related information. Vote 411 provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information on the following aspects of the election process:
- Absentee ballot information
- Ballot measure information (where applicable)
- Early voting options (where applicable)
- Election dates
- Factual data on candidates in various federal, state and local races
- General information on such topics as how to watch debates with a critical eye
- ID requirements
- Polling place locations
- Registration deadlines
- Voter qualifications
- Voter registration forms
- Voting machines
Use the 411.org tool to become an informed citizen and exercise your right to vote!
