NOVEMBER 4, 2008 GENERAL ELECTIONS:
On November 4, 2008, North Carolina voters will go to the polls to elect
individuals to represent them in federal, state and local government. In order
to promote
civic responsibility and to help voters better understand where the candidates
stand on critically important issues, the North Carolina Family Policy Council
is pleased to provide this impartial, nonpartisan 2008 General Election Voter
Guide.
To produce the Voter Guide, the Council sent questionnaires by certified
mail to over 480 candidates during this election year. The candidates' responses
to the questionnaires are compiled on this website and may include additional
comments and explanations provided by the candidates. In addition to viewing
the candidate information on this website, you may also download a copy of
the 16-page print version of the 2008
Voter Guide (pdf, 862kb).
To order 2008 Voter Guides
in bulk for distribution at your church, civic group or other organization,
contact the North Carolina Family Policy Council at
(919) 807-0800.
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS WEBSITE:
- Some offices in North Carolina are
elected statewide (U.S. Senate, Governor, Lt. Governor, Council of State,
N.C. Supreme Court, and N.C. Court of Appeals),
while others are elected by district (U.S. House, N.C. Superior Court, N.C.
Senate, and N.C. House).
To determine your voting districts refer to your voter
registration card or visit the State

the SBOE website, select "Show me my Voter Information" and then
