Your free web page

If you are a candidate in a nonparticipating county, we regret that we cannot post any information about your race or your candidacy. Please encourage your local League of Women Voters to participate.

Candidates may enter data on their web page electronically until 8:00 p.m. EST, the day before Election Day.

For answers to specific questions about the total project, please contact the Smart Voter Project Director at director@smartvoter.org..

"Thank-you" to all candidates who fill out our Web form to create your own web page on Smart Voter. Our users want to read the information about you and your candidacy directly from you!

Candidate photo

We invite you to electronically submit a photo which is a "head shot" of you taken within the last two years. All photos must be timestamped by five (5) days before Voting Day.

Preferred method:

Send an email attaching a digital photo file to our Photo Editor: oh-photo@smartvoter.org. You may attach a digital photo or scan a paper photo and send it to us as an attachment to an email message.

Please be sure to identify the candidate name, county, and office in the body of the email message. Also please include "Smart Voter" as the first words in the Subject line (we have a huge spam problem and it helps us to identify your email in case our spam filters are working overtime). We will try to process all photos, but cannot guarantee them. If the processing does not work, we will contact you.

The digital image should be in the following format: 

• Larger than 107 wide x 130 high (pixels). 
• A common photo format (JPG, GIF, BMP)
• A file size that is practical for email transmission.
• Photo name should be your name, not "me" or some other non-unique identifier.

Note: If these specifications don't make sense to you, please email us and we will try to clarify.

Secondary method:

If the photo is already posted on a web page, please send the URL via email to oh-photo@smartvoter.org. Please be sure to identify the candidate name, county, and office in the body of the email message and include "Smart Voter" as the first words in the Subject line. We will do our best to convert this photo to our specifications, but cannot guarantee success.
