Be an informed voter

By Annemarie McClellan and Maureen Ash

Heading to the polls on April 5, 2022? It’s local election time. We get to vote for our school board members, as well as our city council, town, and county board representatives. Our local elected officials do the hard work and make the decisions that affect our everyday lives. Who we elect to these positions matters. Who are you going to vote for?

Go to myvote.wi.gov to find what’s on your ballots. But to be an informed voter, you need to dig a bit to be sure you know who you are voting for. These are nonpartisan elections, so voting along a party line is not an option.  

I’m going to check vote411.org to see if the candidates responded to questions there.  I’ll check my local paper for information. I’ll google the candidates to see what experience and background they have. I want my vote to be meaningful.  I want to know who I am voting for.

I invite you to be an informed voter as well! Let’s be sure to cast our ballots on April 5!
