It is voluntary due to the fact that we can move our tongue anywhere inside our mouth and to the 8 muscles that control it that is also called extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. These muscles are voluntary so you can move your tongue to it.

If you are referring to the skeletal muscles of the neck, then yes. All skeletal muscle are voluntary. You can control when your neck moves, while you cannot control when your heart pumps.
