The League of Women Voters of Northeastern North Carolina is an all-volunteer, nonpartisan, grassroots organization encouraging informed and active participation in government. We work to increase understanding of major public policy issues and to influence public policy through education and advocacy.  There are many ways to get involved locally.  Volunteer to register voters, work toward fair redistricting, help provide voters with election information through voter guides, check out our Action Alerts and so much more!  Join our group and help us as we empower voters and defend democracy.
