Use the LWVCC Candidate Guide

Once you know which candidates will be on your ballot, learn about the candidates and make your choices.  

The nonpartisan organization VoteChampaign compiles a Candidate Guide for each contested election in Champaign County.  The 2024 General Election Candidate Guide will be available closer to the election date.

The Candidate Guide features questions and answers from each candidate in a contested race and includes website links, social media, email, and phone number. There are also links to any available candidate forum videos available elsewhere in the community. 

Watch this site for information on availability of the Candidate Guide.

Watch Candidate Forums

LWVCC regularly offers Candidate Forums before each Champaign County Election. Candidate Forums for the 2024 General Election will be announced here as they are scheduled.  These may offer in-person attendance but all are videotaped and made available on YouTube. It's a chance to see candidates in comparison to each other. Watch for announcements on our website, Facebook,  Instagram or in the LWVCC newsletter.
