Voter Registration Training

November 11, 6-8 pm on Zoom

A free voter registration training will be offered November 11, 2025, from 6-8 pm on Zoom by the League of Women Voters-Greater Chippewa Valley (LWV-GCV).

The information is geared for people who want to learn about voting in Wisconsin, so they may help guide others through the voter registration process. Presenters will role-play common voter registration scenarios, provide handouts, and answer questions.

The goal of the training is for participants to feel comfortably knowledgeable in helping others register to vote and to know how to access expert resources.

This free training is open to LWV-GCV members and to the public.

 Registration is required and can be completed on-line at the LWV-GCV website (https://www.lwv-gcv.org; then click on the Calendar tab, and the event title on November 11). A confirmation and Zoom link will be sent after you register.
