Voter Registration Push Made By Arlington Heights LWV

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — Sept. 22 is National Voter Registration Day. The League of Women Voters - Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove & Mount Prospect will register voters at the public libraries in Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect in celebration of the day.

Americans annually celebrate National Voter Registration Day with a massive cross-country effort to register voters in advance of Election Day on Nov. 3. With a historic presidential election approaching, every eligible American voter can exercise the right to be heard at the ballot box.

Partner organizations including the League of Women Voters will coordinate hundreds of National Voter Registration Day events on and offline nationwide, and leverage #NationalVoterRegistrationDay in all social media platforms to promote voter registration.

The League of Women Voters - Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove & Mount Prospect stated it is proud to be a National Voter Registration Day partner in a press release. On Sept. 22, the League will host two in-person voter registration events:

• 3-6 p.m.: outside the main branch of the Mount Prospect Public Library, 10 S. Emerson Street, Mount Prospect.

The League can assist community members in registering to vote online via a smartphone or iPads provided by the League. Community members need an Illinois driver's license or state ID and the last four digits of their social security number to complete registration online.
