Guides.vote Releases Nonpartisan Voter Guides for Presidential and Major State Races
WASHINGTON, October 24, 2024 (Newswire.com) - With early voting underway, guides.vote has released nonpartisan voter guides for the Presidential, U.S. Senate, Congressional , US Supreme Court, and Governor Races. Published since 2012, these rigorously researched guides counter misinformation and cynicism, improve voter confidence, and increase voter turnout. guides.vote has teamed up with the NAACP, Black Voters Matter, Nonprofit Vote, Teen Vogue, US Vote Foundation, Voto Latino, Vote.org Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, States News Room, and over 100 other national and local organizations to help turn out informed voters in 2024.
guides.vote will distribute more than 6 million voter guides this election.
“In a time of widespread political cynicism, disinformation, and spin, these guides provide a concise and credible way to compare candidate stands. Partners tell us that they help people get past both widespread misinformation and the myth that it’s not worth voting because candidates and political parties are all the same, all corrupt, all lying and spinning.” – Paul Loeb, guides.vote founder.
Veteran researchers and journalists create the guides to provide a trusted source of information comparing candidate positions on the issues, including abortion, climate change, criminal justice, education, economy, gun laws, health care, immigration, LGBTQ rights, taxes and more. The guides help voters in English and Spanish know what's at stake and why their voice matters.
These guides are unique in how they’re created, the information they provide, and their accessible presentation. The project’s website and social media resources help voters participate nationwide.
“As a trusted messenger, NAACP provided these nonpartisan voter guides to our network of over 2 million members, volunteers, social media activists, and partners. These guides compare candidate positions on key issues, so voters know who is running for office to represent them and their communities. Carefully and transparently sourced, written by veteran journalists, they’re a resource that’s useful for everyone.” — Phaedra Jackson, Field Director, NAACP
“In today’s day and age, it’s hard to know what’s real and not. These nonpartisan guides gave students the ability to be educated voters and know they were getting accurate information. The guides are easy to navigate, while being thorough and detailed on the issues. Our students loved being able to use them when making their voting plans.” — Katie Prebelich, former Central Michigan University Student Body President
Our guides.vote nonpartisan guides draw on votes and stands candidates have taken as elected officials and on what they’ve said at debates, town halls and media interviews. We make them available as a public resource and distribute them on campuses, through civic partnerships, and on social media. News outlets are encouraged to reprint the guides free of charge (just credit us, let us know, and don’t change the content or reprint them in a partisan context), or link to the guides.vote site and share on social.
