Spring elections are around the corner, and we want to engage our members in helping spread the word! Voter turnout is notoriously low in off-year, local elections and we at the League of Women Voters are committed to doing all we can to ensure that voters are aware of the upcoming elections, who is running in their cities and towns, wards and precincts, and know when and how to vote.
Here is the Central Berkshire County schedule:

Ask your networks of friends to pass the information along to theirs.
SPREAD THE WORD about the League’s information website, vote411.org, which provides a portal to check voter registration status, find out what’s on your ballot, and report election-day problems. It’s a fantastic resource for new and experienced voters alike. Include a link to your town’s election 2021 information page on its website, which should provide the most current and complete information about deadlines, offices on the ballot, ward and precinct maps, and polling places and schedules.
Together, we can make a difference in informing and engaging citizens to get out and vote in local elections that affect them and their quality of life most immediately.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO TO PROMOTE FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS!
