| Voters Guide to the General Primary Election of February 2, 2010 For the nomination of Federal,
State and County candidates |
|---|
| About this election: Because this is a primary election, registered voters will be allowed to vote in only one political party’s primary, not both. The candidates who win their respective primaries will face each other in the general election next November. Early voting for the February 2 primary election has ended. The League offers this online Voters Guide as a resource of information on candidates' qualifications and attitudes on key issues. The League formulated questions for candidates running in the races listed below. |

We neither support nor oppose any candidate or party. |
