LWV Of Wood County

Action on voting rights in 2016 looks very similar to last year. On the whole, states are passing less restrictive election laws, and even better, more and more states are reforming their election process to help voters.

When looking at the now almost complete 2015 state legislative sessions, not only were fewer pieces of anti-voter legislation successful, more pro-voter reforms were introduced and passed!

Two months into the 2015 State Legislative sessions and we have seen a groundswell of assaults on voters in many states. League of Women Voters activists have been working around the clock to fight back against these threats as well as to advance opportunities for voters.

Sept. 24, 2013, is National Voter Registration Day.

Warren and Judy Peascoe look over a copy of the League of Women Voters election guide in the Parkersburg News and Sentinel before going in to cast their ballots at the Vienna city building, one of four community early vote sites that opened Tuesday. "We've early voted at four or five elections...," Judy said. "Early voting assures we vote, so if something comes up at the last minute that might keep us from voting on election day."
