Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit dedicated to empowering everyone to participate fully in American democracy. With active Leagues in all 50 states and more than 700 communities, we engage in advocacy, education, litigation, and organizing to protect every American’s freedom to vote. The League is a federated membership organization proud to be women-led and over 100 years old, emerging directly from the women’s suffrage movement in 1920.
