Be patriotic; be an election judge

Posted July 02, 2018 1:00 am

Brass bands loudly playing patriotic music and highflying American flags are stirring symbols of our hard-earned independence. Thinking patriotically is a good beginning for keeping our freedom gears turning, but actions are more powerful than thoughts.

For this July Fourth holiday - stand tall with a patriotic purpose and apply to be part of our team who will process Lake County's voters in November.

There are endless reasons why it is important to be engaged in the election process - you are actively supporting democracy right in your own neighborhood, succeeding as a first-class role model to those around you and ensuring that the election is fair and accessible.

Applications are available in person from the County Clerk's office located at 18 N. County Street in Waukegan, online at electionjudge.info, or by calling 847.377.2408.

Our freedom is valuable, and it is up to each of us to do our part in protecting it. Working at a Lake County voting site is an easy place to start.

Let's rally together to do the finest for our county.

Carla N. Wyckoff

Lake County Clerk
