VOTE 411 Live

The League of Women Voters of Frederick County is working with the national and state Leagues to offer non-partisan candidate information through the online Voters' Guide at VOTE411.org. The League has a long tradition of publishing the verbatim responses of candidates to questions important to voters. The online database VOTE411.org can assist Maryland citizens as they prepare for the Primary Election on May 14 and the General Election on November 5.

By April 1, the League's VOTE411.org platform will be available to voters throughout the world 24/7 through an interactive, community-specific online Voters' Guide. In September, an updated online Voters' Guide will be available for the General Election and the Frederick News-Post will print the Voters' Guide and distribute it with the paper. In addition, the League will make the printed Guide available at county libraries, senior centers and other locations.

To produce the Guide, the League sent identical non-partisan questions to each candidate running for a particular office. Candidate responses will appear at VOTE411.org, and later in the printed Guide, exactly as submitted. The League does not edit for content, spelling or grammar. The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any candidate or political party.

The League invites candidates to respond to the League's questions in English and Spanish. At VOTE411.org, citizens can choose to read candidate info and answers in either language.

People who visit VOTE411.org can register to vote, check to see if they are already registered, find their local representatives, see what's on their ballot and more. Beginning April 1, users who click the "Find What's on Your Ballot" button, can enter their address and find every candidate and issue that will appear on their ballot, with the candidate responses to the League's questions in the candidate's own unedited words.

For many years, voters have looked to the League of Women Voters for fair and accurate information about candidates and their positions. Before the 2022 General Election, approximately 375,000 Maryland residents received the Voters' Guide or viewed candidate information on VOTE411.org or on the state League's website at lwvmd.org

The League of Women Voters of Frederick County is a nonpartisan organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. The League focuses on empowering voters and defending democracy, while working to increase understanding of major local, state and national issues.

 

Remember Absentee Ballots? Maryland now calls them Mail-in Ballots, and you can still get them from the same place.

The 2024 Elections Are Coming

The advanced deadline to register to vote, update your registration, or change your party affiliation is 21 days before the the Primary (Tuesday, April 23, 2024), and again before the General election (Tuesday, October 15, 2024). If you miss the deadline or a change happens within the 21-day period, you can also register or update your information during early voting or on election day.
