News

Our monthly membership newsletter with lots of current articles - election season opportunities, reactions on our Proposition 13 initiative qualifying for November 2020, and more! But it's mostly the election . . .

The League of Women Voters are available to register voters monthly at Wheaton Public Library, 225 N. Cross St., Wheaton, IL.

THIS PAGE IS OBSOLETE - if you get here, go to the new Voter Registration Calendar.

The League only takes action on issues after careful study and consensus by members.  The result of this process is called a position, and our positions define what action we can take on an issue.  We have positions at each level of government and we take action at all levels.
