In reply to the discussion: Does anyone here vote on judicial elections? [View all]A Little Weird
(1,754 posts)32. I have the same problem
I think the lack of available information is more of an issue in less populous places. I generally just leave them blank if I haven't been able to find info. This year, they are all running unopposed so I'm sure it doesn't make any difference.
It's not just judges either - I can't find any info on some of the school board candidates either. It's very frustrating. I make an effort to be informed but still come up empty.

Makes sense. It's mostly people in law-related professions who would know the candidates.

Since in my case there's never any information at all, even on the internet

Yes. There's always a way of finding out whether a candidate is a wingnut.

But I am active. I just don't run in law circles, so I have to look things up.

Have you tried googling your local Democratic Party committee website for information?

In WA we get a handy votor guid with candidate statements, and usually contact info.
