The November midterms will soon be upon us! 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 in February. We will also explore how best to evaluate judicial candidates and what impact the new Ward map will have for Chicago voters.
