THE VOTER INFORMATION HUB PROVIDED KEY VOTING DATES, FAQS ON HOW TO VOTE, SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE VOTING SCENARIOS AND HOW TO CHECK VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS. THE CANDIDATE INFORMATION HUB OFFERED INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT POSITIONS WERE ON THE BALLOT, INFORMATION ON CANDIDATES AND THEIR BACKGROUND, THEIR STANCES ON ISSUES, THEIR VOTING HISTORY AND ENDORSEMENTS.
