In an effort to get young people involved in the electoral process, the League assigned volunteers to area colleges including The College of Westchester, Berkeley College, Manhattanville College and Pace Law School, plus volunteers at the White Plains Galleria Mall and the White Plains YMCA. 

Madeline Zevon, a spokeswoman for the White Plains LWV, said the League's members and volunteers were out in force and available to assist voters who wanted to register or update their registration if they have moved since the last election.
