Voter Information

Picture
Those who are elected to leadership positions on the local, state and national levels make the decisions that have a daily impact on each of our lives. The LWV of NPC believes that one of our most important functions is to encourage and help educate citizens to vote in fair elections. Towards those ends, we will register voters, publicize elections and conduct candidates and issues events where and when it is possible and effective, as well as participate in the publishing of a Portage County Voters’ Guide, in cooperation with the Kent LWV prior to each election.

Below are links to resources for the voters of Northern Portage County to register to vote, learn about current election deadlines, find information about their legislators, and other important resources.
