Printed Voter Guides
League volunteers work very hard to create an on-line voter guide for every election. For general elections, volunteers take an extra step and work with the Mining Journal to create a printed voter guide. The volunteers work with our county clerk to list the candidates and proposals for each election. The volunteers develop questions for the candidates so that they have an opportunity to submit answers.
Prior to General Elections, Marquette County residents can often find a voter guide tucked into their Mining Journal paper or at their local libraries and other establishments.
Candidate Forums
Candidate Forums are an important part of the League’s work. The League regularly sponsors forums to offer the public an opportunity to become acquainted with candidates and their views to promote an informed vote on election day. The format for the forums has been designed by the League to give each candidate an equal opportunity to respond to questions and share views, including opening and closing statements.
