League of Women Voters Palatine Area

The League received many calls from local businesses and childcare centers to register voters. A group of 4 league members attended a recent Naturalization ceremony at the Schaumburg library in Schaumburg, IL., where approximately 70 people received their American citizenship. Later, several league members were stationed at the Palatine library to help register voters. In the following days, a crew of 4 members spent 3 hours at Sears Holding Company registering voters and an additional 6 hours was spent registering voters at 3 Child Care Centers in Palatine, Schaumburg and Carpentersville. Many people had recently had a change of address and needed to reregister, however, several people were new voters. League members were able to answer questions from people regarding registration and when it is necessary to reregister.

Voting is a wonderful right in the United States. The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, is dedicated to the principles of self-government established in the Constitution of the United States. The League's purpose is to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. To this end, the League is proud to support voter registration and active voter participation.
