WASHINGTON – Today, The League of Women Voters Education Fund (LWVEF) and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) announced a new, two-year partnership that will support Girl Scouts’ Promote the Vote program and civic engagement opportunities for Girl Scouts across the country. Building on GSUSA and LWVEF’s long histories of civic engagement, the partnership will connect local Leagues and Girl Scout councils to support Girl Scout troops participating in Promote the Vote, as well as in completing civics badges, earning the Gold Award and more. 

Even if you lack a permanent address, you can register and vote in all 50 states.

The LWV of Ohio addressed this issue head-on in a training on Homeless and Housing Insecure Voter Outreach. This blog summarizes top takeaways from experts in the field.
