The League of Women Voters of Lawrence-Douglas County is seeking nominations for an award that honors local volunteers in government.

Each year, the Helen Fluker Open and Accessible Government Award is given to a local volunteer who works to increase resident participation in government, educates the public about an issue or strives to support better political decision making.

Contact the League by e-mail at league@sunflower.org for a nomination form. The deadline is Feb. 20.
