Voters Choice Napa

More Ways, More Days to Vote

The CLC launched the “Voters Choice Napa” (VCN) campaign to ensure underrepresented voters (youth/young adults, language minorities, people with disabilities and seniors) participate in elections in Napa County. 

VCN develops successful strategies for engaging voters, including outreach, education, voter registration, and get-out-the-vote – all while engaging in advocacy efforts to ensure that public officials consider the special needs of vulnerable populations.

Below you will find several downloadable resources and clickable links to inform you and others members of our community about the importance of participating in the upcoming election - and how to get started!
