Important News: Changes in the LWV membership system

Effective Feb 3, 2025, the League of Women Voters has transitioned to a new membership platform called ChapterSpot.  Members are now able to log in and update their own member information and renew online.  

Your email address will be your user name for ChapterSpot and each member must have a unique email address.  If you don't use the internet to join or renew, you will not be required to access the portal.  You can continue to write checks for your dues payments and your League's roster manager can continue to input your information to the roster as needed.

Dues are pay-what-you-can.  The recommended dues rate is $75, but you can pay any amount more than that, or any amount less than that to a minimum of $20.

Dues are now allocated as follows:  Local League 20%, State League 47% and LWVUS 33%.  There is an option to make a contribution directly to your Local League.  100% of that donation will go to your League.

How can I pay?  If you pay online, the preferred payment method is ACH, which requires typing in the numbers at the bottom of a check.  This has the lowest fees and maximizes the amount of money going toward League work.  The secondary option is to pay online by credit/debit card, which has higher fees.  It will also still be possible to pay by check as needed.

What's gone?  There are no household memberships or student memberships.

When will I be asked to renew?  A year from your last payment. You'll receive a reminder before then.  There is an option to have your membership auto-renew.

Accessing Your Member Portal:  Online members can manage their contact information or view their past payments via to the LWV Member Portal.
  • Click HERE to log in to the portal then
  •  Enter the email address associated with your membership.
  •  You will be sent an email with a verification code to enter the code into the form. (You do not need a password.)
  • You can manage your email preferences to not to receive some types of emails such as optional newsletters or fundraising emails.  Some messages, such as those about your membership are not optional.
