“Voters in Michigan want simple, helpful tools to help them navigate the voting process and election day,” Ryan said. “VOTE411.org is the nation’s premiere online, non-partisan election resource and the League of Women Voters of Northwest Wayne County has provided information on the candidates running for office in our community for this resource.

Printed copies of the League’s non-partisan Voter Guide were delivered to libraries in Northville, Plymouth, Canton, Livonia, Redford, Garden City, Westland and Wayne earlier this month. Additionally, voters can find the Voter Guides on the League’s website at lwvnww.org, as well as videos of candidate forums held in September and October for the 20th and 21st District state representatives, Plymouth-Canton and Livonia school boards and the 7th District state Senate.
“This year, millions of voters will head to the polls and stand up for what matters most to our communities and our lives,” Ryan said. “The best thing we can all do is urge everyone to prepare by learning about the candidates and issues before they vote. All of our elected officials have incredible influence over the issues an policies that affect our families and communities most. Election day is our chance to weigh in and take control over what is most important to us.”
