Your Vote Counts

The March 5th California Primary Election is in our rearview mirror. Of the 74,321 registered voters in Nevada County, 39,579 cast their votes (53.25%). For the League of Women Voters this voter turnout is disappointing as , we strive for 100% of voters to cast their ballots, however, we are well above the state voting statistic in which only 34% of voters cast their ballot. We have our work cut out for us in the upcoming November election to increase voter participation!
