LWV OPRF December 16 Week in Preview

Deputy Registrars

It is time to renew your commission as a deputy registrar! Here is the 2025 Deputy Registrar oath sent from the Cook County Clerk, the Hon. Monica Gordon. All commissions expired on November 30, 2024 (commissions are only for two years). Please complete the new Deputy Registrar oath. There are two ways to send it back to Cook County: 1) download, print, and fill out the oath, then scan it and email it back to Cook County via email OR 2) download, print, and fill out the oath and mail it back to Cook County using the address on the form. Even if you just took the training this fall, you must renew your commission again. We will hopefully be registering voters for the upcoming 2025 municipal elections and you need to be re-certified to register voters. Please do this ASAP!

Drinks & Dialogue

Our first Drinks & Dialogue for the year will be Thursday, January 16, at Friendly Tap Coffee Lounge in Berwyn. Starting at 6:30pm, Oak Park & River Forest High School Superintendent Dr. Greg Johnson will present the latest school updates with plenty of time for questions. Mark your calendars now.
