There is an election coming up soon on Nov. 3, and the League of Women Voters of the San Juans urges you to be sure to vote by that date. As we have been doing for over 20 years here in the islands, the League will be presenting its non-partisan election forums covering all the local competitive races on the three main islands: on San Juan on Oct. 6 at the Grange at 7 p.m., on Orcas on Oct. 7 at the American Legion Hall at 6 p.m. and on Lopez on Oct. 8 at Grace Episcopal Church at 6:30 p.m. The League does not support or oppose candidates or political parties. Instead we invite you to come and hear all the candidates state their positions and answer questions so that you can be an informed voter. Be sure to take every opportunity before Nov. 3rd to learn everything you can about all the candidates. Remember: vote and the choice is yours; don’t vote and the choice is theirs.
