The
League
of Women Voters of Washington County alerts all voters that the
Pennsylvania general election is Nov. 6. On the ballot for this
election are
candidates for some state judicial seats and
some local
magisterial district judges, Washington County offices of commissioner,
clerk
of courts, coroner, district attorney, prothonotary, register of wills,
and
treasurer, and many local government and school director
positions. In
addition, there will be some judicial retention elections, including
one for Washington County Court of Common Pleas Judge Paul Pozonsky.
The LWV of Washington County
has set the following
policy for inclusion of candidates in the Voters Guide and other voter
service
activities. All candidates already on the ballot for the offices
described above will be included, with the exception of municipal
offices which
the guide does not cover. Write-in candidates for the offices covered
will be
included if they give the League written notification by Sept. 27
describing how
they meet two or more of the following criteria: public or media
announcement
of candidacy; existence of a campaign committee; evidence of
fund-raising or
planned activity for campaign; appeal to a broad segment of the
electorate; or
evidence of significant voter interest and support. The burden of
proof
for meeting these criteria rests with the candidate. If
candidates are
accepted for inclusion in the Voters Guide, they will also be included
in any other
LWV voter service activities for their office.
Candidates
planning write-in campaigns may apply for inclusion by writing Joan
