The League of Women Voters of Washington County is distributing the newest edition of its popular free print publication “Facts for Citizens.”

The brochures are available now in municipal offices, public libraries and the county Department of Elections. The information is also available on the League’s website: washingtoncounty.palwv.org.

For many years, the League has published Facts for Citizens to encourage informed and active participation in government. While the Internet makes finding details about some levels of government easier now than it was in the past, current local government information can be still difficult to track down, especially for some of the county’s smaller municipalities.

Facts for Citizens 2015 provides meeting times and contact information (addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email and web addresses when available) for the county’s 66 municipalities and 14 school districts. Elected board members and term expirations are included.

Along with contact information for county, state and federal officials, the publications list the municipalities within each of the county’s congressional and state legislative districts. The conveniently sized brochures are published in 10 different regional editions, each with a contiguous group of municipalities and the school district or districts that serve them. County residents should look for the edition that covers their municipality and school district.
