It is important to celebrate that VOTE411 did what it was designed to do this cycle - educating voters. We had information on more candidates in more languages that were viewed by more voters than any election cycle, and that's something to be extremely proud of! More specifically, between January 1- November 5th, just shy of 9.2 million voters turned to VOTE411 for their election information.
