How is the Voters Guide information collected?
How is the Voters Guide information collected?

To compile the Voters Guide information, we invite every candidate in competition for office to provide information.

  • Every candidate in competition for office is invited to provide information.
  • We list the names of unopposed candidates, but we do not send them questionnaires. 
  • League members verify accurate contact information provided by various election entities and the Texas Secretary of State. 
  • The League formulates all candidate questions through a rigorous questions committee process.
  • Candidate replies are printed without editing or verification of content.
  • Candidates are asked to avoid negative references to their opponents, and we reserve the right to redact portions that do not meet our guidelines.
  • Candidates must submit answers by the deadline provided to be included in the printed version.
  • Responses may be updated after the print deadline on VOTE411.org.
  • Political affiliations in partisan races are abbreviated as follows: (D) Democratic Party, (R) Republican Party, (L) Libertarian Party, (G) Green Party, (I) Independent.

To compile the Voters Guide information for constitutional amendments and propositions we strive to:

  • Research each ballot proposition
  • Use understandable and unbiased language.
  • Create fair and balanced coverage of the proposed amendments and propositions
  • Review enabling legislation
  • Use a variety of resources
  • Reach out to authors and/or sponsors, supporters and opponents
