Reaching the Next Generation of Voters

Voter Registration Report for November 2026

This fall, our voter registration volunteers visited schools across the county. Here are the numbers:

LWVVC Voter Reg Summary Fall 2026

A sampling of student feedback comments:

  • "they made learning about voting fun.”
  • “eye opening - maybe I should vote.”
  • "I didn't think I was going to vote, but this presentation changed my mind and made me realize how important it is.”
  • “I liked women speaking to the class and educating the class on things the school doesn’t.”
  • “great support on how to register, the process of voting and how we can become better informed so we know how to vote.”
  • "You're all so energetic and fun, I love how welcoming and how you don't judge if we don't know."
  • "They were unbiased and also very sweet."

And from the teachers:

  • “I liked the new video, the LWV always does a great presentation for my students.”
  • “Presenters were enthusiastic, welcomed questions. Love to have you back next year!”

Thank you to all the dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers
