Candidate websites
Candidates' campaign websites can be a mixed bag for voters looking to get informed. The information is usually slanted to make the candidate look good, so it often has to be taken with a grain of salt. But many sites also offer a good layout of the candidate's policies and plans if you can look past the political fluff.
Party websites
Political parties' websites work a lot like candidates' websites. There's a whole lot of propagandizing going on, but they also have valuable information. Parties' sites let you see their platforms, which literally include all the policy positions that members of the parties agreed on.
