    VOTE411 Widgets

    Launched by the League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) in October of 2006, VOTE411.org is a "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information, including the location of polling places.

    To help expand access to this information, the League built several VOTE411.org widgets for use by state and local Leagues and individuals on their websites. These widgets are free for anyone to use.

    How to Download and Use the Widgets:
