Yes, the somatic nervous system is voluntary. In contrast, the autonomic nervous system is involuntary.
Voluntary muscles are controlled by the central nervous system.
Nervous System
It is the somatic nervous system that transmits information to voluntary muscles. The autonomic nervous system transmits information to involuntary muscles.
All voluntary actions are overseen by the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a collection of effector neurons, and part of the peripheral nervous system, that relay the commands from the CNS (central nervous system) to its respectable muscles.
A voluntary response is under conscious control, meaning you can choose whether or not to perform the action. An involuntary response is not under conscious control and occurs automatically, such as a reflex or a reaction controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Involuntary and voluntary actionssomatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system
the two main types of nervous systems would be the parietal nervous system and the central nervous system. The CNS controls most voluntary movements, while the parietal system controls involuntary actions such as breathing and the fight and flight response.

The nerves of the somatic nervous system control voluntary actions - activities you can choose to do or not to do. The function of the somatic nervous system is to regulate the movement of the body. The somatic nervous system forms part of the peripheral nerves in the body.
The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
