When deciding whom to vote for in any election, think about one or two issues that are most important to you. For example, do you care about job-creation programs? Are you interested in education reform? Look for each candidate’s voting record on those topics and read any statements they have made. Visit the candidates’ websites, too.

The more reliable sources that support a candidate’s claim, the more accurate that claim is likely to be. According to the passage, how can voters BEST decide whom to vote for?
