JOIN/RENEW/PORTAL
Joining the League is a great way to play an active role in your community and in our democracy! Everyone is welcome - membership in the League of Women Voters is open to anyone 16 years or older.
When you join the League of Women Voters of the Redding Area, you are also joining the state and national leagues! Thirty-three percent of your dues payment will go to LWV United States, forty-seven percent will go to LWV California, and twenty percent will go to us. After choosing your annual dues amount, you can optionally choose to donate directly to the LWV Redding Area on the next page of the Join/Renewal form!
