These are important voter information events and the public is invited to attend. The Zoom links for the forums will be posted one day ahead on the League’s website: www.lwvwhidbey.org. Both events will also be recorded and posted on the League’s website.
ELECTION DAY

The League of Women Voters of Whidbey Island has not endorsed any candidates, but does take positions on issues.
