Use these resources to cast an informed vote in the next election!
The LWVSA Voters Guide is an excellent source of nonpartisan election information, including candidate responses—in their own words—to a set of issue and policy questions that all competitors in a given contest have the opportunity to answer and submit for the public to see. Reviewing these candidate responses will help you know which candidates most align with your values, your concerns, and your policy preferences. Candidates are, after all, asking for the opportunity to represent YOU.
The Voters Guide is generally available about two weeks before Early Voting begins.
Printed LWVSA Voters Guides are distributed to San Antonio library branches, the Bibliotechs, and many locations where the San Antonio Current is available.generally about two weeks before Early Voting begins.
