VOTE411, the League of Women Voters voter information website, has information on all the races that will appear on your primary ballot. Just go to www.vote411.org and enter your address. You will see all the offices – federal, state, county and town – and the candidates running for each. The majority of candidates have provided responses to the questions posed to them by the League.

Candidate Forums are a League tradition. This year, with candidates unable to meet with voters in-person, they are more important than ever in helping voters cast an informed vote. We are co-hosting the following forums:
