Ahead of the election on April 7, the League of Women Voters-Greater Chippewa Valley offers the nonpartisan election resource VOTE411.org.
This “one-stop shop” for election information provides simple, helpful tools to help Chippewa Valley voters navigate the voting process. VOTE411 provides candidate information, a voter registration tool, polling place information, and other helpful election information for all voters nationwide.
“Voters in the Chippewa Valley need simple, accessible tools to help them navigate the voting process before Election Day,” said Elizabeth Fischer, LWV-GCV Vote411 Chair. “For years many voters have contacted a friend to ask who to vote for in local elections.
With Vote411.org, now voters can make their own decisions. Instead of phoning a friend, voters can go to Vote411.org, type in their address, find out about the candidates in their races, and make their selection.”
“Often voters phone a friend because they cannot find information about a candidate, but they do want to vote. In frustration, they ask a friend before going to the polls. We understood the lack of a 24/7 resource online where voters could get unbiased information on the candidates in their local races. Vote411.org offers candidates a place to post their positions in their own words and gives voters a location to access that information anytime.”
Candidates for the positions listed below were asked to enter their reasons for running in Vote411 before the March 24 publication date.
- Dunn County Board of Supervisors
- City of Menomonie City Council
- City of Menomonie Mayor
- Menomonie School Board Members

We hope that the candidates for local positions will have shared their thoughts with you.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
