AUSTIN, TX — Ahead of the Primary Election that takes place on March 5, 2024, the League of Women Voters of Texas has published its 2024 Primary Election Voters Guide, which can be found on VOTE411.org and at LWVTexas.org.
VOTE411.org is an online, interactive version the Guide that will let Texas voters:
- Enter their address to see the statewide races and candidates on their ballots, compare candidate responses to unbiased questions posed by the League, and create a print-out of their choices to take to the polls.
- Find information on local races and candidate forums, if there is a local League in the area.
- Check their registration status and see polling places and times.
In order for these resources to reach as many voters as possible, LWV Texas is providing the Guide and its information in various formats and languages:
- VOTE411.org presents the statewide races in four languages: English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
- At LWVTexas.org, the easily-readable, printable, web-friendly PDF version of the Guide will be available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese.
- English and Spanish versions of the printed Voters Guide will be distributed to over 260 libraries, food banks, and other locations across Texas.
“The upcoming primary elections are extremely important for Texas! Since many districts in Texas heavily favor one party over the other, the primary elections typically determine who will represent our state in Congress and who will govern our state. Between the Texas League and local Leagues, all congressional and state legislative races across Texas are covered! We strongly encourage all Texans to learn about the candidates and participate in one of the primaries or conventions.
The League lives its mission of 'Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.' by publishing its trusted, nonpartisan Voters Guide so that Texan voters have the knowledge they need to vote with confidence. The League does not support or oppose any political parties or candidates. All candidates that are on the ballot for both party primaries are invited to participate in the Voters Guide.
We urge our fellow Texans to use this resource. And we urge our supporters and other organizations to share the Voters Guide with their communities across Texas.” said Joyce LeBombard, president of the League of Women Voters of Texas.
