League of Women Voters is participating in Vote411
League of Women Voters of Washington County is participating in Vote411, an online nonpartisan voters guide. This guide is online already at www.Vote411.org. Candidates submitted their own biographical information and responses to several questions.
At the site, voters simply type in their home address and then will see information on all the candidates who will be on their ballot. The local LWV, in collaboration with The Observer-Reporter, will be printing a paper copy of this Voters Guide. It will be distributed in the Washington County edition of the paper, as well as The Almanac, the week before the election.
On the Washington County ballots for this election are candidates for U.S. senator, Pennsylvania governor and lieutenant governor, the new 14th Congressional District, 46th District state Senate, and all state representatives.
For those voters who are unable to go their polling place Nov. 6, absentee ballots may be requested at any time now. The absentee ballot application must be in the election office by Oct. 30. The voted ballot must be received in the election office by 5 p.m.Nov. 2.
To request a voter registration form or absentee ballot application, contact the Washington County Election Office at 724-228-6750. Forms are also available in most libraries.
