If you are planning to vote in the August 5, 2008, primary election in Oakland County, you might want to check out the on-line edition of the League of Women Voters Oakland Area Voters' Guide for the August 2008 Primary Election.
The Guide provides non-partisan information about candidates for offices at the Township, County and State levels. This year, the League partnered with the Oakland County Bar Association and the Detroit Free Press to provide additional information on judicial races in the County. County ballot proposals also appear in the Guide where appropriate.
For the Guide, each candidate is given an opportunity to provide biographical information and to answer a number of questions on issues important to the office being sought. Responses are included as submitted and have not been edited, except for necessary cutting when replies exceeded the stated word limitations. When a candidate exceeded the word limit, the answer is ended with an ellipsis (....). If the candidate did not reply by the required date, the words "Did not reply in time for inclusion" appear after the candidate's name.
If you plan on voting in Oakland County, but are not sure of all the candidates or issues on the ballot, check out the League's Guide. It will make your trip to the ballot box more productive.
