Leagues across the country are implementing a new unified dues structure that started rolling out on Feb. 3, 2025. LWVUS has chosen ChapterSpot as the new membership portal using the Stripe payment platform.

Members already may have received an email from ChapterSpot about setting up an account. There will be options to set up an annual renewal using a bank account or credit card and make a separate donation to LWVSTL.

When it comes time to renew, ChapterSpot will send you an email reminder. Dues will be pay-what-you-can and not a fixed rate. The recommended dues amount will be $75, but members can pay any amount over $20. LWVSTL will get 20 percent for each $75 membership ($15 before payment fees, compared to the $23 we currently get). As the attachment shows, LWVMO will get 47 percent and LWVUS will get 33 percent. 

There will no longer be household memberships, but you can pay the same amount for a second person. For example, a current two-person household that pays $105 could pay $45 for each member and make a $15 donation to LWVSTL.
