Upcoming LWV-Wake Events

Sept 2022 BOC Candidate Forum
Wake County Board of Commissioners Candidate Forum
September 20th
 
LWV-Wake will host a candidate forum for Wake County Commissioner districts 1, 2, 3 and 7 on Tuesday, September 20th at 7pm at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the candidates who, if elected, will make important decisions about about parks and recreation, public health and safety, education, and many other important issues.
 
As a reminder, the current board voted last fall, during redistricting, to return to 4-year staggered terms. To learn more about the current board's 2022 strategic goals, click here.

BI-PARTISAN “TRUSTED ELECTIONS” TOUR IN SMITHFIELD AND WAKE FOREST NEXT WEEK:
 

The NC Network for Fair, Safe and Secure Elections, a bipartisan, grassroots effort initiated by The Carter Center (LWVNC is a partner), is hosting a series of 15 town halls across the state in each congressional district and a virtual event for those unable to attend in-person.

 

The Trusted Elections Tour aims to provide information on the electoral process, build trust in our voting system, and strengthen civil discourse. The 90-minute town halls will feature cybersecurity experts, election officials, and election law attorneys from both sides of the aisle. They will address public concerns about electronic voting machines and hacking, explain the secure process for collecting and counting votes, and advise on how challenges, recounts, and fraud allegations are dealt with through proper legal channels.

 

All events are free, open to the public and media. For more information visit www.NCTrustedElections.com.
