Dear Editor,
This Independence Day, honor our nation and democracy by making sure your voter registration is up to date in time to participate in this year’s elections. Then, take a moment to ask your friends and family if they are registered to vote at their current address.
This year, the League of Women Voters of Great Bend is committed to making sure voters have the information they need to participate in elections and ensure their votes count.
The first step to having a say on the issues that matter most to you is registering to vote. As we pause this week to mark our nation’s birthday, set aside just a few minutes to check on your registration status, as well as to start learning about the local candidates and issues that will be on your ballot. VOTE411 .org is the place to go for all of your election information throughout 2015!
Every election is important to ensuring our laws and policies reflect the values and beliefs of all Americans. Celebrate America’s birthday this Independence Day by updating your voter registration or registering to vote for the first time, and committing to vote and participate in the greatest democracy in the world.
Jari Marietta
President, League of Women Voters of Great Bend
