The AAUW-Brevard 2008 Non-Partisan Voter Guide, most recently updated on April 24, 2008, is available in order to assist voters in their decisions in the Primary Elections. The guide will be revised as additional candidates provide submissions, and then again after the Primaries, at which point it will present only the candidates for the General Election.
