Club to celebrate youth activism

The next meeting of the Lake of the Woods Democratic Club will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday, October 14 via the Zoom online meeting application. All are welcome.

The meeting will feature a discussion with dedicated youth activists who have been working hard this year to both encourage voter registration and to support their peers in becoming more engaged with the civic life of our community as volunteers and leaders. Their goal is to work to create the world they want to live in and address important issues that impact our county, state and nation.

The discussion will include a participant in the Blue Ridge Governor’s School who is focusing her senior project on the impact of COVID-19 on the electoral process. Please join us as we celebrate “The Youth” who are striving to make a positive difference in our county – and beyond. We’ll also be hearing from field organizers from Rep. Abigail Spanberger’s re-election campaign about volunteer opportunities as we head into the final weeks of the election.

Early voting at the Orange County Registrar’s office in Orange has been busy. Many LOW residents were present September 18 outside the Registrar’s office when Rep. Abigail Spanberger and Sen. Tim Kaine stopped by to help kick-off the early voting period.

Those voting absentee can place their ballots in a collection box inside the building vestibule as an alternative to placing it in the mail. Absentee ballots can also be delivered directly to the Registrar’s office.
