Here is the Rockford Register Star policy on publishing campaign letters related to the April 7 election.

A maximum of two letters about each candidate or ballot issue will appear in the print edition. Additional letters may be published online at rrstar.com.

All campaign letters — published in print or posted online — will be subject to the newspaper’s letters policy. There is no guarantee of publication or posting.

All letters must be signed and are subject to editing for brevity, clarity, grammar and spelling. No more than 200 words will be allowed. All letters will be verified; writers must provide a home address and daytime phone number.

We will automatically reject abusive letters, letters to someone else, letters from candidates and letters endorsing family members.

All letters related to the election are due by 5 p.m. March 27.

Letters may e-mailed to opinions@rrstar.com, mailed to 99 E. State St., Rockford, IL 61104 or faxed to 815-987-1365.
