LWV in DuPage County Urges Cooperation for Smooth Elections

The undersigned leaders of the DuPage County Leagues of Women Voters note with concern that the ongoing dispute between the DuPage County Clerk and the DuPage County Board has continued for so long that it now risks jeopardizing the county’s readiness for the upcoming March 2026 election.

We expect both parties to act in the best interests of the voters they were elected to serve and to put these differences to rest. The League of Women Voters strongly encourages that all necessary steps be taken to ensure that elections proceed as scheduled and that voters experience no disruptions in the electoral process. It is the responsibility of the county clerk to administer elections that are fair, complete and accessible for all registered voters in DuPage County — and to do so in a transparent manner.

We call on the clerk and the board to work cooperatively and promptly to resolve their differences, exercising their sworn responsibility to the voters of DuPage County.
