What We Do to Educate Voters

The League of Women Voters encourages citizens to register, to vote and to participate in government and politics. We sponsor candidates meetings, debates and interviews; conduct voter registration drives; provide information to the public about voting; and get out the vote on Election Day.
You can contact us at:
Hamptons Voter Services e-mail: voterservices@hampton.ny.lwvnet.org
Hamptons League telephone: 631-324-4637
Find the facts about voting in your state at Vote411.org. Before an election, find your polling place. The Hamptons League takes responsibility for asking local candidates to provide us answers to questions on local issues which are then posted on the vote411.org site.
