Darlene Allen, the local League of Women Voter’s President said, “Our VOTE411 volunteer team has been working diligently to reach out to candidates, particularly those who are in competitive races, to encourage the candidates to answer a set of questions that will provide voters with some information to make their voting choices.” The League team also works closely with Linda Talsma, the Marquette County Clerk, to get accurate information on the local ballot proposals. “We want Marquette County Voters to be informed and vote informed”, said Darlene.
VOTE411.org is also available in Spanish. VOTE411.org, like the League, is nonpartisan and offers information on candidates in races for all political parties. The site aims to safeguard democracy by driving voter engagement.
