WASHINGTON – Today the League of Women Voters Education Fund issued the following statement regarding the League’s nonpartisan election information tool VOTE411.org:

The League of Women Voters has been strictly nonpartisan for over a century, neither supporting nor opposing political parties or candidates for office at any level of government.

“The purpose of VOTE411 is to meet the needs of voters and help individuals navigate the election process. Since VOTE411’s inception, the award-winning platform has provided election resources to millions of Americans in every election.

“As a 104-year-old voting rights organization, the League of Women Voters understands the importance of all elections, from local municipalities to those for federal office.
