Voter Registration - League of Women Voters

Along with hundreds of other nonprofit organizations all over the county, the League of Women Voters - Lake Forest/Lake Bluff is participating in National Voter Registration Day on Tues., September 25. In 2008 over 6 million people didn't vote because they missed a registration deadline of didn't know how to register. This year, a nationwide network of local organizations is working to enable citizens to exercise their right to vote.

The League will have deputy registrars at PostNet, 825 S. Waukegan Rd. in Lake Forest from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. If you haven't already registered or have moved here recently and need to change your address, stop by. Bring two pieces of current identification, and registrars will be happy to help you and give you more information.

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
