​2026-2027 LWVCC Updated Local Positions Adopted

Like the national, state, and other local Leagues, the LWVCC takes positions on issues of importance to our League. This year, proposed changes to the LWVCC Local Positions were reviewed at an all-member consensus meeting in March 2026 where revisions were made. The revised Local Positions were approved by the Board and presented to the membership for a vote at the LWVCC Annual Meeting on May 21, 2026. The updated position statements were adopted and are available here. 

Local position statements are reviewed each year before the annual meeting. All LWVCC members have the opportunity to provide input on our local League positions through the consensus process. Doing so ensures we remain a grassroots organization and allows our President to speak for the League on current issues and concerns of the community. Adopting Local Positions, and noting their relationship to LWVIL and LWVUS positions, increases our impact by presenting one voice representing all our members.

Thank You
​Student Ambassadors! 

Fifteen Champaign County high school students have wrapped up their year as LWVCC Student Ambassadors. They worked tirelessly to educate their peers about the importance of voting by hosting six voter registration events and registering 156 students. Hats off to our students and especially those who are graduating. 

If you know high school students interested in becoming Student Ambassadors for the 2026-2027 school year, please encourage them to apply. It's a great way to learn, build their resume and make a difference!
