Thank you for your membership! We work year-round to register voters, host community forums and debates, and provide voters with important election information. We engage at the local and state levels on legislative priorities and efforts to improve our elections and protect our democracy. As league members, we:
- Encourage informed and active participation in government
- Work to increase understanding of major public policy issues
- Influence public policy through education and advocacy
We currently have three important areas of study and action: Fair Elections, Public Education, and Voter Services. Here are a few ways you can get started as a member:
- Review what we do and see where you can help
- Check the calendar and participate in an event
- Watch a YouTube video of a LWVODC-hosted talk or presentation
- Subscribe to the LWVNC mailing list
The links on this page provide just a few resources available to League members. We encourage you to explore the national (LWVUS) and LWVNC web sites for additional information. In addition to reviewing these resources, we encourage you to browse our past events and watch the videos of informative LWVODC and LWVNC talks on a wide range of topics.
