League Ready for National Voter Registration Day Sept 27 and Debates
This election is important, and every eligible American deserves the chance to weigh in: get registered and attend candidate debates
The League of Women Voters of Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Area is participating in National Voter Registration Day (NVRD), a nationwide, nonpartisan effort to register thousands of voters on Tuesday, September 27th. For people who are not able to register at Lake Forest City Hall, by mail, or online, a deputy registrar from the League can make arrangements to meet. Please email contact@lwv-lflb.org.
On September 27, 2016, volunteers, celebrities, and organizations from all over the country will “hit the streets” for National Voter Registration Day. This single day of coordinated field, technology, and media efforts will create pervasive awareness of voter registration opportunities reaching tens of thousands of voters.
“This election is important, and every eligible American deserves the chance to weigh in,” said Wyn Cain, President. “Voter registration is the key to helping shape the future of our country. We want to make sure everybody who wants the opportunity to vote on Election Day has his/her registration up to date.”
