Membership
Basics
The League of Women Voters was
organized nationally in 1920, after all women were given
the vote, for the purpose of registering voters, studying
issues of importance to the electorate and educating its
own members and, through them, the community as a whole.
The League also collects and
distributes non-partisan election information on
candidates and issues. The League NEVER endorses or rates
a candidate.
The League is open to anyone who
is 18 years old and a U.S. citizen. However, non-citizens
may join as associates. They simply could not vote at the
annual meeting.
Membership is tri-layered,
automatically including affiliation with the National
League (LWVUS), the
state League (LWVCT)
and the local League.
