MUNCIE, IN—On Election Day, hundreds of volunteers will work the polls. In honor of these volunteers, National Election Hero Day is Monday, Nov. 2. Election Hero Day is a nonpartisan, national celebration.
“The League of Women Voters of Muncie-Delaware County wants to thank our county clerk, election team, poll workers, voter registration administrators and others who fulfill their civic duty to ensure safe, secure and successful elections,” said Linda Hanson, president of the Indiana League of Women Voters and spokesperson for the Muncie-Delaware County League.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in the country’s democracy.
The League, since its founding in 1920, strives to empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation at the local, state and national levels.
In addition, the League never supports or opposes political parties or candidates. Instead, it takes positions on issues that affect voters. Positions might align with a party or a candidate at times but diverge at other times. The League’s focus is always on policies and measures that serve the public interest – not party affiliation.
The League of Women Voters Education Fund and local leagues work to register and inform voters through the election resources of VOTE411.org and candidate forums.
People of all different governing beliefs are eligible to join local chapters of the League of Women Voters. No invitation is needed. To join the Muncie-Delaware County League, go to https://www.lwvmunciedelaware.org/.
