A free voter registration training will be offered Thur Feb 20 from 6-8 pm via Zoom by the League of Women Voters-Greater Chippewa Valley (LWV-GCV).

The information is geared for people who want to learn about voting in Wisconsin, so they may help guide others through the voter registration process. Presenters will role-play common voter registration scenarios, provide handouts, and answer questions. The goal of the training is for participants to feel comfortably knowledgeable in helping others register to vote and to know how to access expert resources.

Topics include: registration methods by mail, in person, or on-line through MyVote.wi.gov; registration deadlines; eligibility requirements and required documents.

In addition, participants will learn how to direct voters to the following practical information: their municipal clerk or their polling place; the next election dates; what’s on the ballot; their voting activity history; and how to request an absentee ballot.

Recent changes to the Wisconsin voting process will be covered, as needed.

This free training is open to LWV-GCV members and to the public.

Registration is required and can be completed online at the LWV-GCV website. Click on the Calendar Tab in the blue bar at the top of the page, and go to the event title on Feb 20. A confirmation and Zoom link will be sent after you register.

LWV-GCV is a local chapter of the League of Women Voters, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization founded in 1920 that provides voter information and encourages voter registration.
