Letter to the Editor

Vote411.org/LWVCT is a One Stop Shop for Connecticut Voting!

Fellow residents of Litchfield County.  The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a non-partisan organization providing election information and candidate Voter Guides for over 100 years.

This year’s election cycle covers municipal elections

As we do every year, the LWV is gearing up to support voters with general election information and online Voter Guides through the League’s award-winning election information system Vote411/LWVCT.

This year we have partnered with the Goshen News to bring greater awareness to this resource and to highlight in-person candidate interviews conducted by the Goshen News.

In-person candidate interviews for the top offices are being conducted in the towns of: Goshen, Litchfield, Thomaston, & Torrington. Those towns will have those offices and all candidates for municipal office listed on Vote411. Many other towns in Litchfield County will be available on Vote411: Morris, New Milford, Warren, Watertown, Winchester & Harwinton as of the writing of this letter. The list is growing.

Starting October 1 constituents, in the communities we covered, can enter their address in Vote411 and see who they may vote for to represent them in their local government.

Click on a candidate’s profile to find their answers to Voter Guide questions. Candidates respond to questions by entering their views directly into Vote411; their responses are not edited by the League of Women Voters. Candidates also have an opportunity to upload a video and or picture. If a candidate needs to update their information at some point, they are free to do that.

Vote411 is a free service for voters and candidates. If you find a candidate has not yet responded, after Oct 1, please urge them to do so!

Determine if you are eligible to vote, and find out how to register to vote on Vote411. We are a One Stop Shop for voting! October 20 is the first day of early voting.
