The new high-tech version of the guide, a joint production of Seattle and King County, makes access to election information even easier for voters. Voters can decide between a Seattle or King County version of the guide. In both versions, voters are greeted with an introduction to the guide, as well as two-minute video statements from candidates and information on upcoming propositions.
Voters can choose to view the entire guide, or individual candidates and propositions.
Voters can now decide when and where they want to learn about candidates and issues, rather than waiting for a print copy or local television stations to air the guide. The Internet can be a powerful tool for government to communicate and share information with the public. We should look for ways to provide more services online instead of making people wait in line. With the general election just one week away, I can t think of a better time to put the guide online. King County and the City of Seattle have teamed up to produce the Video Voters Guide for the primary and general elections since 1993.
