Although this mid-term election is stress inducing for many (and we'll talk about it at Hot Topics), the League of Women Voters is one of 300+ organizations who are participating in the largest nonpartisan voter protection program in the country. Hopefully, you will feel reassured after reading about ELECTION PROTECTION 866 Our Vote
You can even join the effort as a volunteer. Taking action is a great way to assuage your misgivings about how this election will turn out because YOU will be helping to protect the process. | | JOIN US for a unique conversation about the mindset of anxiety that is surrounding the upcoming mid-term election. Panelists joining us include:
We'll be questioning WHAT is making the voting public so anxious? HOW will it affect the election outcome? WHEN did you notice the tone change? Plus much more.
| Every conversation matters. Every volunteer matters. And every voter we reach helps build a stronger, more representative democracy.~Kay Hudson | The LWVOC sponsored candidate forums are available to help you choose your candidate!
Five Orange County Districts will decide on a new (or re-elected) commissioner. You can watch candidates answer tough questions as well as learn about their visions for their districts and the county. Also included is the Orange County mayoral forum at Hot Topics and the final undecided Ninth Circuit Judge, Group 1.

For example, if you put "development" in the transcript's search bar, the video will move forward or backwards to the candidates discussing their views on local development in rural or urban areas. #nowyouknow |  | LOOK at our volunteers! They've been out at multiple locations to register and educate voters--especially our newest voters at the high schools! You can join these groups as part of our grassroots efforts at Volunteering Opportunities. Thank you, Voter Services and Speakers' Bureau!

Still not sure...then we'll happily take your generous $upport as it's costing a lot this year for supplies and marketing outreach to voters. THANK YOU for supporting LWVOC in all ways!
