Voter Services

The League of Women Voters of Oak Park and River Forest mission is to register and educate voters to better participate in the democratic process.  If your organization is having an event, our deputy registrars would be happy to attend and register voters.  Do you have new neighbors or new 18 year olds on your block? Invite us to your next block party to register them. Does your school, church, or civic organization want to register new voters? Contact us.  Remember, Every Vote Counts!
