The League of Women Voters of Washington County is distributing the 2013 editions of its popular free print publications “Facts for Citizens.” The brochures are available now in municipal offices, public libraries, and the county Department of Elections, and will be available at several league candidate forums to be held later this month. The information is also available on the league’s website: washingtoncounty.palwv.org.

For decades the league has published “Facts for Citizens” annually to encourage informed and active participation of citizens in government. While the Internet makes finding details about some levels of government easier now than it was in the past, current local government information can still be difficult to track down, especially for some of the county’s smaller municipalities.

“Facts for Citizens” publications provide meeting times and contact information (addresses, phone and fax numbers, and email and Web addresses when available) for the county’s 66 municipalities and 14 school districts. Elected board members and term expirations are included. Along with contact information for county, state and federal officials, the brochure tells which municipalities are in each of the county’s congressional and state legislative districts. The conveniently sized brochures are published in ten regional editions, each covering a contiguous group of municipalities and the school district or districts that serve them. County residents should look for the edition that covers the school district in which they live.
