Primary 2010 Voters Guide

The League of Women Voters of the Austin Area announces the publication of its Primary 2010 Voters Guide. This is the major non-partisan source of information on all the contested Primary races in Travis County and the state. While the Voters Guide to every election is offered free as a service to the public, we accept (and encourage) donations from the public so we can continue our work to strengthen democracy through increased and informed voter participation. A $10 (or more) contribution will be greatly appreciated.
