This Election is important! Texans will be voting on candidates that will make decisions that impact their everyday lives.
It is easy to compare candidates online with the nonpartisan Voters Guide! Voters can find information at:
• VOTE411.org -- By entering an address voters can compare candidates, find where to vote and print a personalized ballot with candidate choices.

The Texas League’s Voters Guide covers state wide races. Find local voting and election information, including polling places, on the local League of Women Voters Website or county website.
