LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS INVITES CANDIDATES TO PARTICIPATE IN DNET.ORG

Honolulu, Hawaii - The League of Women Voters of Hawaii invites all candidates for office to participate in its award-winning voter education web site, DemocracyNet or DNet (www.dnet.org). Dnet, part of the new Capwiz ElectionTM tool created by Capitol Advantage, is a free source of nonpartisan election and voting information for the upcoming 2004 state and federal elections. The site features unfiltered position statements from the candidates and comprehensive information on voter registration, voting procedures and ballot measures or referenda at the federal and state levels.

“The LWV of Hawaii is proud to embrace the Internet as an educational tool in engaging citizens and candidates in the election process. Our focus right now is on getting candidates up and running in DNet.org before the Primary Election on September 18th. In DNet, the candidate information is entered directly by the candidate, so it is important that we get as much participation as possible from candidates”, says Andrea Dean, DNet Affiliate Manager for Hawaii.

For more information on participating in DNet, on establishing a DNet link, or becoming a DNet volunteer, please contact Andrea Dean at (808) 889-5806 or via email andrea@hawaiipacific.net.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
