In conjunction with the LaGrange Area League of Women Voters, Lyons Township High School hosted a day-long Voter Registration Drive at North Campus on September 24.. Students who will be 18-years-old by November 3, 2020, are eligible to register, and all who register may vote in the Presidential primary on March 17, 2020, and in the Presidential general election on November 3, 2020.

This is a great way for students to engage in the political process. Over the past several years, the League’s annual registration drive at the high school has seen record-breaking numbers of registration. The LaGrange Area League of Women Voters registered 664 students during the day.
