Election 2020 Information
Get Out & Vote
One way in which DKG members can get involved with educational law & policy efforts is to get out and vote. Did you know 71% of educators in North Carolina are women? Just think of the difference our voice can make if we take the time to vote. The NC ELP committee has put together resources to help you make an informed decision about voting this November. Early voting runs October 15 - 31 and Election Day is November 3, 2020.
