A Few FAQ About the Arkansas Voter’s Guide
Family Council has published the Arkansas Voter’s Guide every election year since 1990. We survey the candidates, and we publish their responses in print and online.
Each year we get a few common questions about the Arkansas Voter’s Guide. Below are answers to some of those frequently asked questions.
1. Is the Arkansas Voter’s Guide something that only conservative voters will find useful?
Answer: No. The Arkansas Voter’s Guide deals with a wide variety of issues impartially. Our goal is (and always has been) to produce a resource that tells voters in plain and simple terms where candidates stand on the issues. It’s up to voters to decide whether they agree or disagree with the candidates’ positions on the issues.
2. Are the issues covered in the Arkansas Voter’s Guide issues Family Council cares about?
Answer: Not necessarily. We survey candidates on hot-button issues that we believe voters care about. Some of the issues covered in the Arkansas Voter’s Guide down through the years are issues Family Council has barely even talked about, much less taken a position on. The Arkansas Voter’s Guide is not meant merely to inform Family Council where candidates stand on issues. It’s meant to inform voters where candidates stand regarding the issues that matter most to them. (more…)
In the past two weeks we have distributed roughly 50,000 copies of the Arkansas Voter’s Guide, and the orders are still coming in. Demand for the Arkansas Voter’s Guide is especially high this year. That’s why we made the decision to print 50,000 more copies.
When it comes of elections, candidates usually get most of the attention. However, besides picking their leaders, Arkansas voters also get to make their own laws via ballot issues.
