Voter Information from the League of Women Voters
Wednesday, February 11, 12–1pm Central via Zoom
The November midterms are coming! Voting is your right; being informed and prepared is your responsibility! Catherine Mardikes of the League of Women Voters will discuss the League’s activities and share useful information for voting in the midterms this November as well as the municipal elections this Spring. We will also explore how best to evaluate judicial candidates and what impact the new Ward map will have for Chicago voters.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. We empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation, at the local, state, and national levels.
