WASHINGTON, DC — Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 4 will mark one of the most important off-year election cycles, in which millions of voters will determine the direction of their states and local communities. With races for Governor and state legislature in New Jersey and Virginia, tens of thousands of local offices, and statewide and local ballot measures on the ballot, the League of Women Voters (LWV) is issuing a final call to action urging every eligible citizen to prepare to cast their vote tomorrow. Voters can visit VOTE411.org, LWV’s nonpartisan resource for Election Day success.
The call for participation coincides with the sixth annual observance of Election Hero Day (EHD), a national recognition of the tireless efforts of election officials, their staff, poll workers, and volunteers. For the first time, LWV is proudly serving as EHD’s managing partner for this nonpartisan celebration, applauding the unsung heroes whose work safeguards every vote. As voters prepare to cast their ballots tomorrow, LWV is encouraging voters to thank the election heroes in their community who ensure that elections are secure, accessible, and fair.
