Are You Registered to Vote?

The League of Women Voters and Feeding America have partnered to support a voter registration and engagement project in key Virginia communities for the 2021 election season. Feeding America and partner staff and local League of Women Voters organizations have offered nonpartisan voter registration and education activities at our distribution sites.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization that encourages active participation in our democracy and historically excluded communities play a critical role in this. The League has registered many millions of voters over 100 years through voter registration drives, youth, and new citizen voter registration programs, and their website, VOTE411.org.

As part of Hunger Action Month, we ask that you vote this Election Day to stand up for what matters most to you, my family, and my community. Here are some quick facts to make voter registration easy!
