With presidential election season behind us, it is time to think ahead about future work to get out the vote and to ensure voters have the tools they need to make informed decisions. We need your help. How? Become a member of the League, sign up to receive our monthly newsletter, and follow us on Facebook (@LWVNewCastleNY) for timely reminders.  

New Online Voter Registration Portal

Check your voter registration status at the NYS Board of Elections Voter Lookup Service. Those with a NY.Gov ID may register using the NYS Board of Elections Online Voter Registration portal. Check your voter registration status at the NYS Voter Registration Database Search. For more information, view the NYS Board of Elections Voter Registration Process webpage.

Now Live! Membership Renewal Through LWVUS ChapterSpot Portal

On February 3, the LWVUS ChapterSpot portal went live, creating a new procedure for joining the League or renewing your membership. All current members will be receiving an email from LWVUS inviting them to set up a Chapter Spot account. Memberships will now be rolling - expiring on the date of joining. If you set up your Chapter Spot account now, your information will load including the end date of your membership. For members who renewed through LWV New Castle in December and January, your membership is good through December 31, 2025. LWVUS will send you a renewal notice a few months prior to your membership expiration. This new membership renewal structure has shifted the membership category definitions to LWVUS - there will no longer be family memberships and each family member must join as an individual in the future. But don't worry - because the new LWVUS system allows you to pay what you can afford (subject to a minimum), you can elect to give your second family member the "additional member" discount that you have been receiving. Questions? Send us an email - lwvnewcastle [at] gmail.com and we're happy to discuss the new system. You can join or donate through our unique LWV New Castle membership link.
