The League of Women Voters of the Palatine, Barrington and Schaumburg Areas will co-host two upcoming Candidate Forums for IL House Districts 51 and 52.
The former League of Women Voters of the Palatine Area recently changed its name to the League of Women Voters of the Palatine, Barrington and Schaumburg Areas (LWPBS-Areas), which now encompasses residents from 25 local ZIP codes, including Barrington, Hoffman Estates, Inverness, Palatine, Rolling Meadows, and Schaumburg.
The LWVPBS-Areas also announces the upcoming nonpartisan, in-person Candidate Forums listed below. These forums are presented as a service to voters so that they can hear directly from candidates prior to the Nov. 5 and make informed choices. All League candidate forums are run by trained, nonpartisan moderators.
“Our League takes pride in facilitating informative, respectful, and inclusive candidate forums,” says Camille Basak, copresident of LWVPBS-Areas. “The goal is to help candidates be seen and heard by their constituents.”
