Choosing the right candidate begins with deciding what issues are important to you and what abilities you are looking for in a leader. Here are some factors to consider when voting for the next US presidential election.
 

  • Visit the League's online VOTE411.org election resource to see who is standing in your region. Vote411 provides you with a list of all the parties and candidates on your ballot when you enter your address.
     
  • Investigate and get information about the candidates. View media coverage, examine internet comments, study their viewpoints on their campaign site, and research them on VOTE411.
     
  • The viewpoints of others can also help you in clarifying your position. However, do not overlook your own well-informed opinions.
     
  • Be careful of publicity stunts while you watch campaign coverage on the news. Take the time to concentrate on the candidate's positions on the problems.

 

  • The ability to communicate clearly in front of others and in difficult situations is required of candidates. He or she must be able to engage with both proponents and opponents of an idea and be open to hearing both points of view.
