Submission Agreement & Instructions
We recommend that you print this document for future reference, as it contains important dates, answers some commonly asked questions, and provides information about how to access the online system to submit your campaign contact information and your responses.
Submission Agreement
A candidate's participation in this activity does not constitute an endorsement by the League. This is purely an educational activity. No candidate may use the name of the League in any manner. Submittal of responses and biographical information constitutes agreement with the terms of this letter and the Voters' Guide instructions.
By participating in this activity sponsored by the League, a candidate agrees not to upload any libelous statements or information. Nor shall a candidate upload copyrighted or other legally protected material without the permission of the owner of such material.
Character Count and Formatting
No editing of your answers will be done by the League, except to comply with space limitations and Voters' Guide design layout.
Candidate responses are limited to 1,000 characters (including spaces and punctuation). Your responses will be printed verbatim up to the character limit. The web form will count the characters for you and will tell you when you have reached the limit.
Please do not use boldface, italics, underlining, hyphens, symbols, bullets, or lists. They may be changed to comply with Voters' Guide design layout.
Photographs
You may submit a color or black and white “headshot” photograph for inclusion in VOTE411. The use of photographs in other print and online media is at the discretion of the League sanctioned publisher.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be in the VOTE411 Voters' Guide even if I don't answer the questions? Your name and campaign profile information will be listed, followed by the notation: "The candidate has not yet responded." We strongly encourage you to participate, as a candidate’s absence from the resource may speak volumes to voters.
When do I need to submit my responses? You may submit or edit your responses at any time, but the sooner responses are submitted, the sooner your information will be provided to voters. The League will be publishing the Primary Election information on June 6, 2024.
Will you edit my responses? No. Voters will read exactly what you submit.
Where will my information appear? Your information will be available online at VOTE411.org and may also be available through other League-sanctioned, online resources.
What should my photograph look like? Your picture should be a closely cropped headshot (i.e., do not use a full-body or group shot).
How do I submit my responses? Please use the personalized link you were provided in the invitation email to share information about yourself and views to the voters.
