So it isn't quite as catchy as Rock the Vote, but it is important to make well informed decisions when you visit the voting booth on November 6. (Haven't registered? You have until Nov. 3rd.)
Much of the campaigning this campaign season has focused on fact-checking statements made by all candidates. Even the coverage from many news outlets are biased in some way. Researching each candidate to make sure he or she will accurately represent your needs and wants in government has never been more difficult.
Below you will find some resources that provide unbiased information about the 2012 election candidates. Each has been chosen for its non-partisan viewpoint and accurate information.
- Lake County Voter Information Guide:A sample Lake County ballot. Here you can find the names of the candidates for the election as well as proposed amendments.
- League of Women Voters Links: Useful links compiled by the League of Women Voters - Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Area.
- Illinois Voter's Guide: This is the state's information resource for candidates from President to judges.
- Find the Data: An informative site that provides information on all candidates. Especially for donations and financial matters.
- Illinois Election Guide: Congress.org, a non-partisan organization, has information for national, congressional, state legislature, and statewide candidates.
