(Updated November, 2022)

Election Day is over! Although the election results will not be certified until November 29, to learn the unofficial results, go to this webpage from the NC Board of Elections website. 

CJJ wants to thank you for all your efforts to turn out voters in such an important midterm election! Together we made a difference, doing more than any of us could do alone. We are grateful for all of you, and we applaud you. Democracy only works when everyone’s voice at the ballot box is heard. Because of your efforts, many more people showed up than might have been expected in an ‘off-year’ election.

CJJ is also celebrating all that we have learned this year. Many strong relationships have been developed or strengthened with individual members of the Jewish community as well as with leaders from synagogues, temples and Jewish-led organizations. Additionally, we've developed stronger ties with other progressive, nonpartisan groups, and the infrastructure for voting rights coalitions are more robust than they have ever been.

As we move into 2023, there will be more to do. There are no off-years for voting rights! CJJ and its statewide Voting Rights work group will share opportunities with you. We will continue to advocate for voting rights and to engage the electorate in ways that will increase voter turnout in the coming years. We will look to connect with our 2 US Senators, 14 US House Members (an increase of one over the last decade), and all members of the NC General Assembly and the Governor. We are laser-focused on moving the needle in NC closer toward social justice for all.

About CJJ's Voting Rights Action Guide

The Voting Rights Action Guide provided important information during the 2022 Midterm Election to prepare people to vote AND take action to get others to do the same. It will be updated after the first of the year with new ways for you to take action on voting rights and in support of civic engagement.

In the meantime, stay informed and get connected!  Visit our list of trusted resources for ongoing learning and engagement.
