(Fargo, ND) -- Governor Doug Burgum has issued a proclamation declaring February 14th, 2023, League of Women Voters Day in North Dakota in honor of the League of Women Voters’ 103rd birthday.

The proclamation notes the League’s tireless grassroots efforts over the last 103 years to empower voters and defend democracy. The North Dakota League has accomplished this through candidate forums, voter guides, and advocacy on voting rights.

“The League has been a force for voter rights and education in North Dakota,” says Dr. Barbara Headrick, Board President of the League of Women Voters of North Dakota. “We will continue advocating for a government that is open, transparent, and accessible to its citizens.”

In honor of the League’s birthday, February 14th will be a day of action for the North Dakota League. They are asking League members and the public to contact their state legislators to support open, transparent government and elections.
