Our policy on election letters

 

As a service to our readers, Southern Lakes Newspapers accepts letters to the editor pertaining to local election issues.

All political letters must be submitted for publication at least two editions prior to the date of the election. That means letters pertaining to the Tuesday, Feb. 19 primary elections election must be submitted by noon on Monday, Feb. 4, to be considered for publication.

The only letters that may run in the edition immediately preceding the election are rebuttal letters. Such letters will appear only in the event a candidate can clearly demonstrate a rebuttal letter is necessary to refute or clarify erroneous statements published in a letter appearing the previous week.

Letter writers are limited to one letter of 500 words or less per election. Letters deemed libelous, malicious or in poor taste will be rejected.

Post-election letters from candidates thanking their supporters will not be accepted.

Email letters to [email protected]; fax to (262) 877-3619 or mail to P.O. Box 992 Twin Lakes, Wis. 53181.
