Are you a person with strong skills in data management? Interested in a highly rewarding project to help Washington citizens make sure they select candidates whose views are more likely to mirror their own? 

Maybe you’re new to the League and you’d like to get to know the political landscape in communities throughout the state. 

The LWVWA is seeking a volunteer project manager to lead its statewide VOTE411 effort.  VOTE411, of course, is the award-winning online platform created by the LWVUS Education Fund to ensure voters in each state have timely and accurate election information every cycle.   

Each state’s VOTE411manager oversees the project from planning and data entry to outreach and launch. Job tasks include developing questions for candidates, processing candidate responses, marketing, ensuring the program maintains its quality standards, balancing timelines and allocating resources. 

Beatrice Crane has led Washington’s VOTE 411 since 2019 and is planning to turn the role over to another leader. The timeline is for a new manager to start in January 2026 with Crane remaining on hand through the year to assist with the transition. 

 “I have enjoyed learning more about the state and its election system and interacting with candidates,” Crane said.  “And it’s been gratifying to end up with a product that does what it’s supposed to do.”
