Join Team Underwood at the Own Your Neighborhood Training to ensure you have the tools and skills necessary to have effective conversations with your neighbors.

The countdown to Election Day 2022 has started and it’s time to get serious about our ramping up our Democratic campaigns. That’s why the Democratic Party of Illinois is holding its first training session for Democratic volunteers and activists.
| RSVP |
Votebuilder is the software that many Democratic campaigns use to track their grassroots outreach. By attending the training session, you’ll have the skills needed to hit the streets as soon as campaign season kicks into high gear.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time door knocker or a seasoned phone banker, we could all use a refresher on the latest campaign technology. Attendees can participate in person in the Joliet area (exact address given upon RSVP) or online via Zoom.
Click here to RSVP for the Votebuilder Academy on December 19!
From the American Rescue Plan in Congress to the minimum wage increase passed by state legislators to the important advancements by local officials, Democrats have delivered across Illinois. Now it’s time to make sure we deliver at the ballot box next November!
You’re invited to a volunteer appreciation and training with Maura Hirschauer and Karina Villa! This event has been moved to a virtual setting so bring your mochas to enjoy with Maura or coffee with Karina! Either way, we’d love to see you and get everyone trained up for this year’s campaign season.
Re-connect with Team Maura and Team Villa on Saturday January 8, 2022 for some treats and petition training! Don’t miss it!
Today is Primary Day to determine which candidates will represent the Democratic and Republican parties on the ballot in November. Polls open at 6:00am and close at 7:00pm. If you are in line at 7:00pm to vote, please remain in line as the polls cannot close until everyone has voted. Results will trickle in through the evening on the Kane County Clerk’s website.
The Kane County convention is held every two years following the primary election on even-numbered years. This is when all new PCs are officially elected and can thus elect the Chair and Executive Board members of the Kane County Democrats. This is a weighted vote based on the number of Democratic ballots pulled in your precinct for that primary election. We will have the weighted number once the ballot is certified following the June 28 election. The scheduled County Convention is a set date required by Illinois state law, which will take place this year on Wednesday July 27.
If you are a newly elected PC for the 2022-2024 term, please email us at info@kanedems.org to ensure that your email is included in our invite. Please note that this is a private event and that only elected and appointed PCs will be allowed in.
The Leagues of Women Voters of the Aurora Area and Central Kane County will co-host a hybrid forum at 7pm on
Wednesday, September 21, 2022 for the candidates running for Illinois State Senate in the 42nd District and Illinois State House in the 83rd District.
