League Celebrates Constitution Day!
September 17 marks the 226th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution. This year, the League of Women Voters of the East Shore is marking this milestone by finding new ways to engage voters and encourage active citizenship.
“I challenge anyone who has not yet registered to vote or update their registration since their last move to celebrate the civic milestone of Constitution Day by doing so,” said Carol Reimers, co-President. “We have local elections this fall. We’ll elect those who will make decisions about our local economy, education and health care . Voting is a chance for all of us, especially new voters, to get involved and make our voices heard.”
The League will be out in full force this election season, with Voter Registration at the YMCA in Branford and Westbrook planned on September 24th. All events are open to the public.

With such important issues facing our community, there has never been a more important time for all of us to stand up for what matters most to us. Celebrate our Constitution—and our uniquely amazing democracy—by pledging to vote, and asking your friends and family to vote, on November 5.
