HAMDEN/HARTFORD — The League of Women Voters of Connecticut announced that all Connecticut races for state and federal legislative offices have been published on VOTE411.org, the League’s one-stop-shop for nonpartisan election-related information. Voters will notice something new this year: a campaign finance feature providing voters with insights into the financial backers of federal candidates ahead of the 2024 elections. This VOTE411 expansion reflects the League’s long-standing commitment to promoting transparency and accountability in the political process. The campaign finance data, provided by OpenSecrets, will be regularly updated, motivating voters to stay informed throughout the election cycle.
“Transparency in campaign donations is crucial for voters to understand the influences shaping a candidate’s policies,” said Jeanette Senecal, senior director of mission impact for the League of Women Voters of the United States. “When voters can see who is donating to federal candidates, it empowers them to make informed decisions as they learn more about the candidates seeking to represent them.”
Nearly all Connecticut candidates were invited to respond to the voter guide by uploading their bios and answering questions about the issues. The questions are created by League members in Connecticut from both major parties to ensure that they are fair and can be answered by all candidates regardless of party affiliation. Connecticut voters can view who will be on their ballot by going to VOTE411.org and filling in their physical address. If a candidate has not provided any information yet, voters are encouraged to reach out to them and ask that they respond.
