So What Can I Do?
We often have people email the League asking what they can do. The simplest response is to talk to you family, friends, and neighbors about voting. There is often a lot of confusion around voting, which if unchecked can lead to suspicion about the voting process. Our chapter can equip you with facts about the voting process in Camden County so that you can reassure voters and also tell them how they themselves can become advocates for their vote (for example, attending county Board of Elections meetings which are open to the public!).
If you would like to get more involved, we have a number of activities to choose from. We pride ourselves on offering opportunities whether you have a few minutes a week or hours a day!
