Topic: Voting

Note: Meeting day remains 2nd WEDNESDAY of the month.

Join us for the next Defend Democracy Drop-In on Wednesday, October 14th from 11am - 12pm. This meeting will be held at the Glen Ellyn Library.

The League of Women Voters mission is to protect and expand access to the ballot box, and to educate the public about this critical responsibility to preserve our democracy. All elections are opportunities for eligible voters to exercise their right to vote whether it is a federal, state or local election. The October DDD meeting will be devoted to sharing resources to getting out the vote in November!

Please bring your phone, and a tablet/computer. Note: in an effort to be more green, handouts will not be available at the meeting.

This is democracy in action, so we hope to see you there, and bring a friend!

Are you concerned about election security or what is happening to vote by mail or our voter data? Join the LWVGE for this community meeting and bring a friend!.

We will hear from David Goldberg, PhD, professor of political science at College of DuPage. He will talk about recent Supreme Court cases regarding mail in ballots and related issues impacting the November election, as well as the historical strength of the decentralized electoral process in U.S. history.  Melissa Nachtman, an election trainer from LWV Wheaton will showcase what DuPage is doing specifically to protect and support election security.

This event is part of the Glenbard Parent Series (“GPS”). This book is also being read for LWVGE's October book club. (More info, reach out to info@lwvge.org).
