Local elections are crucial. The decisions that municipal and county officials make affect our daily lives often more than those made by our national representatives.
The League of Women Voters of Greater Pittsburgh (LWVPGH), a nonpartisan organization, encourages all registered voters to vote in the November 07, 2023 election and has made it easier for voters to research issues and candidates through www.VOTE411.org a one-stop shop for election information. This nonpartisan election resource provides Allegheny County voters with simple, accessible tools to help them navigate the voting process.
VOTE411.org provides personalized candidate information, voter registration details, polling place locations, and other helpful election information for voters. From local ballot initiatives to important state races, voters in Allegheny County will have the resources they need to make an informed vote this fall. There is also a link to a recent County Executive debate.
In addition, our website, www.LWVPGH.org, has a plethora of important additional voting resource materials: mini voter guides to various officials, including judges, running in statewide and local races, critical information on election law, such as the voting rights of re-entering and incarcerated citizens. LWVPGH’s website is a valuable tool for a young person voting for the first time or anyone who wants to be better informed about an election, recognizing that the decisions of elected officials impact our lives, families, and communities. The last day to register or change your registration for the November election is October 23, 2023. To do so online go to vote.pa.gov.
