About the League’s Voter Resources

All the information on this page is as factual and neutral as we can make it. The League of Women Voters never takes a position for or against any candidate. However, we sometimes support or oppose ballot measures, based on League studies of the issues.

About our voter resources: For voters and candidates

Our mission is to empower voters and defend democracy. Providing voters with trustworthy, vetted, nonpartisan information about what’s on their ballot helps us achieve our mission.

LWV offers every candidate a chance to tell us about themselves through these interviews and in our Vote411.org resources. This is a free opportunity for candidates to inform voters about their positions and qualifications. All candidates are invited by email, starting in February, on all LWVPDX election activity opportunities, including video/podcast voter guides. We include the information from all candidates who responded by our publication deadline.

All candidates are invited to participate in VOTE411 and can do so up to Election Day. (The deadline to participate in the Video Voters’ Guide has passed.) Contact the Office Manager at info@lwvpdx.org for more information about submitting materials for VOTE411.
