Celebrate National Voter Registration Day and the Right to Vote

Join the League of Women Voters of Arlington and Alexandria City, the Arlington County Office of Elections and Arlington Public Library for a panel discussion examining the changes taking place for Virginia voters since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 until today.
