Elmhurst LWV and Elmhurst College are joining forces to help voters prepare for the upcoming primary elections with two candidate forums and an informational session on the Elmhurst Electric Aggregation referendum.  The events will be held in the Frick Center on the college campus.

Scheduled Events:  

Noon:  LWV will register voters.  Two forms of identification required, one with photo and one with current residential address.

1:00 pm The two Republican candidates for Illinois Senate District 24 will address the issues.  Senator Kirk Dillard and Representative Chris Nybo are vying to be on the ballot in the newly-drawn 24th District.  

2:30 pm The League will present a non-partisan informational session on the Elmhurst Electric Aggregation Referendum. 

3:00 pm  The forum for Candidates running in the DuPage County Board District 2 Republican primary race will begin.  Seven candidates are expected to participate.

The LWV will moderate and supervise the forums.  For the Senate race, a diverse panel of community representatives have been invited to participate in the questioning.  The audiences for both forums will also be able to suggest questions for the candidates. 

All sessions are free and open to the general public.  

The Illinois primary election is March 20th.  Because the Illinois election districts were redrawn and boundaries have changed since the last election, voters are advised to check with the DuPage County Election Commission to verify their election districts and polling places.
