Who We Are

The League of Women Voters of Oak Park and River Forest, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influences public policy through citizen education and advocacy.  We present unbiased non-partisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues through our Voter Service activities.  And after we study an issue, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest through our Advocacy activities.

Our History

When women cast their first votes in 1920, the League was there to provide accurate, unbiased election information.  The League of Women Voters of the United States was founded at the Congress Hotel in Chicago on February 14, 1920, in anticipation of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which extended to women the right to vote.
The Illinois League was organized that same year and the League of Women Voters of Oak Park and River Forest just four years later, at the Oak Park Arms Hotel on May 13, 1924.
