Where to find printed copies of the guides? They will be inserted in area newspapers the week before Early Voting begins on October 19. League volunteers will distribute copies to all Hays County libraries.
Do taxpayers pay for the voters guides?
Absolutely not. (Yes, we have been asked that question.) For more than 100 years, the League of Women Voters has envisioned and worked toward a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate. That's why we hold fundraisers and ask for donations every year to pay for the costs of having the Voters Guide translated into Spanish (and other languages in certain areas).
Volunteers from the League do all the work of writing the questions for candidates, sending them to each candidate, following up, copying their answers verbatim, formatting them for the printed Voters Guides, proofreading and uploading them for Vote411.org, the online voters guide (as well as PDF linked above). We pay for certified professional translators and for the printing, as well as to have newspapers insert and distribute copies of the printed voters guide. Volunteers distribute other bundles of the guides to libraries, high schools, retirement homes, and other locations.
