Join the League!

Thank you for your interest in joining LWVDV!
If you run into any issues or have any questions about using the new system to register, join, or renew, please contact us at membership [at] lwvdv.org. 

Joining the League is a great way to play an active role in your community and in our democracy! Everyone is welcome - membership in the League of Women Voters is open to anyone 16 years or older. 

When you join the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, you are also joining the national, state and local Leagues. Thirty-three percent of your dues payment will go to LWVUS, forty-seven percent will go to LWV California, and twenty percent will go to LWVDV. 

To join the League, click the Join/Renew button below.

Membership Dues:

  • Individual members: $75 per year is the recommended amount, or pay what you can ($20 minimum).
  • You can add a second member ($150 total for both recommended, $40 for both minimum), but they each will need to provide a unique email address.
  • Life members: In appreciation of their dedication to democracy, Life Members (members for more than 50 years) are exempt from membership dues.

Making Dues Payments

  • The preferred payment option is a direct bank transfer (ACH transfer), which minimizes fees. You’ll need your financial institution's routing number and your account number.
  • You also have the option to pay by credit or debit card.
  • If you are not comfortable making payments online, see Pay Dues by Check for instructions. 
  • You will receive an online confirmation and an email receipt for your payment.
    Note: ONLY the LWVDV portion of your membership dues will be tax-deductible. 
    The receipt will show the 20% of your dues going to LWVDV and can serve as your tax-receipt. 
  • Your membership dues payment will show up as three transactions on your account — one each to LWVDV, LWVC, and LWVUS. You’ll be a member of all three!
  • Keep things simple by automatically renewing each year!  Just select auto-renewal when you are paying your dues. 
Note: In the past, if you paid more than your dues amount, anything extra was considered a donation to LWVDV. In the new system, everything you pay as dues is split by LWV, LWVC and LWVDV. Therefore, if you want to make a donation directly to LWVDV in addition to your dues, please make a donation (see Making Donations below), instead of paying more than the $75 recommended dues amount.

  • All donations to LWVDV are fully tax-deductible, whether made on the LWV Member Portal or directly from our site.
