Protecting Voting Rights
The right to vote is a fundamental principle of our democracy. When more Americans can participate in our elections, the outcome better reflects who we are as a state and as a nation. We work to promote policies and procedures that increase voter turnout and help make our elections more free, fair and accessible. League members who are interested in working on these issues can contact LWV-Wake Voters Services Co-Chair Johanne Christensen
