The League of Women Voters of Cook County
​
 We are an inter-league organization comprised of the twelve Local Leagues across Cook County.  Our inter-league organization was established because members recognized the need to work together to focus on Cook County Governments that have a great impact across the region.

To get involved, join a local League within Cook County and you will become a member of the LWVCC as well.
