Chester County Veterans at the Coatesville facility are no longer banned from registering to vote.   This is the result of organizations such as the League of Women Voters lobbying against a Department of Veterans Affairs ruling in May of this year.   Please read the article in the New York Times for more information.

League Storefront Display at Exton Mall

When you're in the Exton Mall, be sure to check out a storefront donated to our Chester County League (it's near the food court). One of the components of this 15 ft.+ display is the huge 7.5 ft. x 9.5 ft. poster which (l to r) President Susan Fields and Vice President Jean Goerth are admiring. It beautifully answers the question: Why Join the League? when it says:

"The nonpartisan Chester County League of Women Voters strives to expand voter participation & information and to address today's issues locally, regionally, & nationally....But, we need your help to grow!"

The printing on the petals of the flowers at the bottom of the poster is the topics for some of the key issues the League supports such as Verifiable Elections, Healthcare, Civil Liberties, Global Warming, the Environment, Campaign Finance, etc. Other parts of the large display contain our LWVCC banner reminding all citizens to "Register...and Vote!" as well as contact information for the League.

The League is very grateful to and thanks the Management of the Exton Mall for donating the storefront as well as Local Artist Jeff Stewart for his unique poster design & artwork.
