Non-Partisan Candidate Database
In order to maintain a campaign-free environment, the VSG Election Committee has created the Non-Partisan Candidate database that includes neutral information regarding candidates, platform points, campaign violations, and election updates will be provided. This document will be updated on a semi-daily basis during the dates of March 14th to March 23rd, 2022.
