Making Democracy Work

The League of Women Voters of Champaign County (LWVCC) is a nonpartisan grassroots organization that encourages informed and active participation in government by providing voter education and increasing understanding of major public policy issues.

Our First Podcast!

League volunteer, Carol Baxter, and president, Jane Santogrossi, collaborated on our first League podcast that aired May 25 on all 7 Illini Media Group radio stations. 
Their conversation covered our local League's work, voter registration and voting options, and the federal SAVE Act and why the League opposes it.
