Celebrate Democracy: Exercise Your Power…VOTE!

March 5th is Near!
  • Be sure to check out the rebroadcasting of Candidate Roundtables on CCTV and on LWVDV's YouTube channel if you want to hear candidates share their ideas.
  • Sign up now for, Where’s My Ballot? It is easy to do, and you will be notified of when your ballot is mailed to you.  After voting and returning your ballot you will receive notice of when it is received and then when it is counted.
It has been a busy couple of weeks for Leaguers, doing voter registration at LMC recently and also giving a presentation about voting at Mt. Diablo High where twenty young people pre-registered and registered to vote. Several of them will be able to cast their first ballots in the November General Election.  A cause to celebrate!!

Additionally, the Contra Costa Library has once again invited LWVDV to participate in its Exploration Stations program for elementary students in June. They wrote, “We have set our schedule for four events and we really hope that you may be available to participate in any or all of them. We loved your interaction with the kids around voting and community involvement and they learned a lot.”

Last year, Leaguers planned a voting experience opportunity for very young people based on the library’s environment theme.  There's more to learn about what this year’s theme will be, but if this sounds interesting and you think you would like to participate, please contact voter.services [at] lwvdv.org.

Here is the schedule with dates and library locations:
  • Oakley Library (1050 Neroly Road): Saturday, June 1, 11:00- 1:00 
  • Brentwood Library (104 Oak Street): Wednesday, June 12, 11:00-1:00
  • Pleasant Hill Library (2 Monticello Ave.): Tuesday, June 18, 11:00- 1:00 
  • El Sobrante Library (4191 Appian Way): Thursday, June 20, 11:00- 1:00
