News

Civic engagement groups are now able to resume voter registration at administrative naturalization ceremonies. “When people become American citizens, they should be welcomed into full participation in civic life, not met with new barriers,” said Celina Stewart, CEO of the League of Women Voters. “For generations, the League has stood beside new citizens as they take the oath of citizenship and prepare to make their voices heard at the ballot box. Today’s ruling protects that fundamental democratic principle, and we will continue fighting to ensure every eligible voter can participate freely and fully in our democracy.”

One common misconception about the League of Women Voters is that being nonpartisan means staying silent on important issues. It doesn't.

Supporting free, fair, and accessible elections is not partisan. For more than 100 years, we have worked to empower voters and defend democracy unapologetically. Nonpartisan ≠ Nonpolitical.

The world knows from harsh experience what happens when powerful individuals and groups are allowed unregulated ability to do whatever increases their own power and influence. Data centers are the newest example. This doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t exist. It does mean that their owners must be compelled to be transparent about their plans, build and operate their facilities in ways that do not trample on the lives of their neighbors, and they must pay their own way.
