NEWS & UPDATES
ACTIONS SHAPING LICKING COUNTY
SUPPORTING VOTERS:
ELECTION PROTECTION
LWVLC joined the Ohio Voting Rights Coalition this election season to facilitate and protect voting access. Prior to election day we distributed yard signs promoting the 866-OUR-VOTE hotline and staffed booths at community events to answer voting questions. During early voting and on election day we coordinated poll monitors at 15 of the polling locations in Licking County, providing support and connecting voters with legal resources.
REGISTERING VOTERS FOR
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
In preparation for November's general election, LWVLC registered voters at StoryPoint Senior Living, the Granville Farmer's Market, and Newark Pride and answered voters' questions about voting and the election process.
LOCAL ELECTION SECURITY:
IS YOUR VOTE SECURE?
On October 1, twenty community members joined us for a bipartisan discussion of election security featuring our Licking County Board of Elections Director Tess Wigginton (Democrat) and Deputy Director Brian Mead (Republican). Together they provided important information and answered questions about election security in Licking County and beyond. This event was co-hosted by the League of Women Voters of Licking County Library and the Licking County Public Library.
KNOW YOUR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!
Twenty LWVLC members gathered for an in person viewing and conversation of the Know Your Rights webinar hosted by LWV Ohio and LWVUS. We learned how to invoke our constitutional rights using precise, legally effective language, to consider possible threats to democracy work, and how we can protect against such threats
