The League of Women Voters of Cook County 

Who We Are

We are citizens, volunteers, and informed voters.

• The League of Women Voters of Cook County (LWVCC) encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government. 
• We do not support political parties or candidates; we are nonpartisan. 
• ​We study selected issues about Cook County government, and then educate the public and advocate about them.​
• Members are residents, taxpayers and voters in Cook County. 
• We believe that in order to make good choices when we vote,  we need to be informed about our government.  
• We work together to learn about governmental entities in Cook County including Cook County, the Cook County Forest Preserve District, Cook County Health and the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District. 

LWVCC is an integral part of:  (Click for more information)
