The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
The Dare County League sponsors candidate forums prior to local elections for town, county, and state officials and publishes a voters' guide about candidates, their biographical information, and platforms. Monthly informational meetings on topics of local interest are held for the general public. An annual project is the printing and distribution of the Dare County Citizens Guide which contains information about government and county services. Copies are available online. Visit the League site for membership information.
The Currituck County League held voter registration drives in Moyock and Grandy. The League also held its inaugural voters forum on April 24. The meeting held in the historic Corolla Chapel hosted candidates who are running for county commissioner. The League sponsored the event in association with the Corolla Concerned Citizens and the Corolla Extension and Community Association. The Dare League assisted in the planning.
The Currituck Annual Meeting is scheduled for noon on Saturday, June 14, 2008 at Sound Park. It will begin with a potluck picnic lunch and families are welcome to attend. The time of the annual meeting is 2 pm. For more information, email Currituck League of Women Voters
