Michigan Voter information Guide

Know who you are voting for? OK, maybe you’ve got an idea for president – but what about everything else?
There is also your township board - which actually decides if your road gets paved - to consider as well as who will decide what your children learn in school and sometimes even how much college tuition they pay.
And, what about your pocketbook: Do you know about all the new taxes you are being asked to pay?
Here’s your chance to find out:
This is your complete guide to the upcoming election. Candidates in contested races (including all five - yes, five - presidential candidates all the way down to local library boards) were asked to detail their position on key issues in our community - allowing you to make side-by-side comparisons of where they stand on the issues.
"This easy-to-use online guide is a great resource for voters, allowing them to home in on the races that are most local and the issues that are most important to them in the November election, " said John Hiner, vice president of content for MLive Media Group.
Many voters will see 20 or more questions on their November ballot – so we’ve launched our online guide four weeks before the election to give readers time to educate themselves on the candidates and the issues.

MLive Media Group will also publish voter guides in The Grand Rapids Press, AnnArbor.com, Bay City Times, Flint Journal, Jackson Citizen-Patriot, Kalamazoo Gazette, Muskegon Chronicle and Saginaw News on Oct. 28.

Our voter guide features candidates in their own words, unfiltered. Online, you can see your personalized ballot or browse through 2, 000 races and 3, 850 candidates, including all of Michigan's 14 congressional and 110 state House races.
"Readers can spend as much time on the issues as they'd like, compare candidates side by side, and they can print out information to take with them to the polls, ” Hiner said. “We're happy to provide this service, in such an easy format to use."
