Blog / Last Updated:

Halloween is right around the corner, but there’s something scarier than goblins, ghouls and ghosts – not being ready for Election Day!

Luckily VOTE411.org can help answer any questions you have about the upcoming elections, including a big one – what will be on your ballot.

In less than two weeks, you and your friends and family will head to the polls to weigh in on the issues that matter most to you. These elections are about our jobs, our health, our communities, our security and our future.

You may have heard about the congressional races in your area, but there are thousands of other important races that will be decided on Election Day, and VOTE411.org can help you get familiar with the races in your community. In addition to naming every candidate for federal and state office, hundreds of localities also feature detailed issue statements from candidates gathered by state and local League volunteers across the country.

Candidates for any office, at any level are asking for the job of representing you. The decisions they make in office will influence public policy for years to come. And each vote helps decide who gets the job! When you cast your ballot, you’re telling the leaders who are elected what issues matter most to you.

Enter your address on VOTE411.org to build your personalized voting guide. You can compare candidates’ answers, side-by-side and in their own words in select communities, to help decide who will best represent your values and ideas, if elected. VOTE411.org will also provide you with up-to-date information you need to cast your ballot, including your polling place and voting rules, like if you’ll need to show an ID to vote.

Voting allows you to make an impact on critical issues and policies and VOTE411.org has all the information you need to make sure you are able to cast your ballot. Please share this vital election resource with your friends and family so that they, too, are prepared to vote.
