Voter Services

Your Voice Your Power Your Vote

The League of Women Voters Voter Services is the nonpartisan set of activities and programs the League conducts to promote voter participation and informed citizenship—essentially the League's direct, on-the-ground work with the public on elections and civic engagement.

What it is:  Voter Services is the branch of League activity focused on helping citizens exercise their right to vote and participate meaningfully in democracy — distinct from the League's advocacy/lobbying work.

Guiding Principle: All Voter Services activities must be strictly nonpartisan—the League does not favor any candidate, party, or outcome. The goal is participation, not influence over how people vote.

Distinction from Advocacy: Voter Services is about empowering voters, while the League's program/positions work is about influencing policy. Both are central to the League's mission but serve different functions.

Core Activities include:

  • Voter Registration—organizing and conducting voter registration drives in communities, schools, libraries, and other public spaces.

  • Voter Education—providing objective, nonpartisan information about candidates, ballot measures, and elections through materials like voter guides.

  • Candidate Forums & Debates—organizing and moderating public forums where candidates can be heard, allowing voters to make informed choices.

  • VOTE411.org—the League's national online voter information tool, providing election information, polling place lookup, and candidate responses to questions.

  • Get Out the Vote (GOTV)—encouraging eligible citizens to actually cast their ballots through outreach campaigns.

In summary, League of Women Voters Voter Services is the organization's hands-on, nonpartisan effort to register voters, educate the public, and increase civic participation in the democratic process.
