Women’s Equality Day – August 26

On Women’s Equality Day, we commemorate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in the United States.
This day serves as a powerful reminder of the generations of women who fought — and continue to fight — for equal rights, representation, and opportunity.

At the Lake County Clerk’s Office, we honor this legacy by promoting fair and inclusive access to the democratic process for all.

Let us continue to uplift women’s voices, celebrate their achievements, and work together for a more equitable future.

Dear Lake County Voters,
The vote-by-mail notices you've been receiving are a state-mandated requirement we're required to send every two years it's our job to make sure every voter knows their options. We've heard from many of you with thoughtful questions, and we're grateful for that. That's what civic engagement looks like.
But we've also received calls and emails that are mean, vulgar, and disrespectful toward our staff. That's not okay. The people answering your calls and reading your emails are your neighbors, your friends dedicated public servants here to serve you, like it or not.
Vote-by-mail isn't for everyone, and that's fine. How you cast your vote is your choice. Our job is simply to educate you about your options with kindness and respect, and we ask for the same in return.
Thank you to everyone who has engaged with us thoughtfully.

Queridos votantes del Condado de Lake,
Los avisos de voto por correo que han estado recibiendo son un requisito estatal que estamos obligados a enviar cada dos años es nuestro trabajo asegurarnos de que cada votante conozca sus opciones. Hemos escuchado a muchos de ustedes con preguntas muy reflexivas, y se lo agradecemos. Así se ve el compromiso cívico.
Pero también hemos recibido llamadas y correos electrónicos groseros, vulgares y faltos de respeto hacia nuestro personal. Eso no está bien. Las personas que contestan sus llamadas y leen sus correos son sus vecinos, sus amigos servidores públicos dedicados que están aquí para servirles, les guste o no.
El voto por correo no es para todos, y está bien. Cómo emita su voto es su decisión. Nuestro trabajo es simplemente educarlos sobre sus opciones — con amabilidad y respeto, y pedimos lo mismo a cambio.
Gracias a todos los que han participado con nosotros de manera reflexiva.
