Voter Services

The Voter Services Committee produces the Voters Guide and its online companion, VOTE411.

The committee forms carefully worded nonbiased and nonpartisan questions about issues of concern to the voters. The committee interacts with campaign offices of the candidates to get responses in a timely manner to accommodate the tight production schedule. Distribution channels are worked on to cover all districts. The printed Voters Guide is distributed to throughout the county to all population groups. When feasible and necessary, the committee also organizes candidate forums. This committee provides moderators to other organization for their forums. Moderator training is provided.
