Check their website. It is voluntary for the candidates to participate, but there's no editorializing. The league just asks some simple questions and gives them a short space to reply. I know that I've read the paper guide before while filling out an absentee ballot, but I'm pretty sure I've used an online one as well. Just hope that the candidates in your area were a part of it.
