Help Register Voters
You can help register voters at various events leading up to the November election. The Voter Services Committee (VSC) has several events where we can help people use the Illinois State Board of Elections’ online voter registration option to register to vote. You can help prospective voters utilize the online form without getting deputy registrar training—which means any chapter member can volunteer to participate.

See below for list of events that we hope to participate in to help prospective voters. Please feel free to suggest events for VSC to pursue.
 
 
Sign up to help with voter registration events here. We will always have at least one experienced Voter Services Committee member at each event to help new volunteers get up to speed.

Volunteer to Abolish the Electoral College
One Person, One Vote

The LWV led by a local LWV Illinois Chapter is now holding nationwide online meetings working toward abolishing the Electoral College. At this time the effort is to educate LWV members and raise awareness of the effort among the general public.

If you would like to represent the LWV of McLean County in this very important effort (or come to the next meeting to see if it’s for you) please contact Laurie Wollrab at info@lwvmclean.org. These are monthly meetings that last about an hour.

Next month’s meeting is scheduled for 12:00 pm (CDT) on Friday, August 16, and will include guest speaker Professor Carolyn DuPont, of Eastern Kentucky University. DuPont was one of the invited speakers at the LWVUS Convention. She has a new book being published in September, Distorting Democracy: The Forgotten History of the Electoral College―and Why It Matters Today. The meeting should be very informative!
 
Here's more information about the LWV efforts on the One Person, One Vote campaign.
