With one week left before next Tuesday’s primary election, voters are likely to be overwhelmed with political news and advertisements these seven days.

But it’s possible to get past all of that and still educate yourself before casting your ballot next Tuesday.

We encourage readers to go online and visit candidate’s websites to learn where each of them stand on the issues that matter most to you. The Clanton Advertiser printed an election guide last week that had contact information, short biographies and a short message from every candidate in all races.

So, if you have one question still unanswered or want a campaign to clarify their position, please use that information to reach out to them.

It’s important for voters to educate themselves and cast informed decisions.
