How to Sign Up for MyLO - Register a User Account
Use the directions below to get familiar with MyLO. If your League of Women Voters is using MyLO, you can follow these steps to create your own user account to login and see your League private (members-only) pages.
- Visit your League's website and locate the login bar to register. Or just visit the user page directly at: https://my.lwv.org/user.
- Click Register to be taken to the user page: https://my.lwv.org/user.
- Click I want to create an account to update the form below.
- Begin filling out the form, with the required fields being the username, email address, and password fields. NOTE: The system will warn you if the username and/or the email address you've entered is already taken. Passwords must be a minimum of 10 characters long.
- OPTIONAL: The final question on the form is about League membership.** If your League is listed, you can check the box next to their name to add yourself as a pending member to that League's MyLO list of members. If they're not listed, go ahead and continue to the next step.
- Click Create new account.
- You'll get an email from the MyLO system with a one-time login link and general instructions for managing your user account.
- Here's an example of the email's text.
Once you create the new user account, you have login access to MyLO but won't yet have member access to your League's members-only site. There are multiple ways a webmaster can add a new member to their League--see that documentation here.
**When we refer to a member in the context of MyLO, we are not referring to a paid League member. Membership in MyLO only refers to the access an online member has to access private content from particular League MyLO site(s). This type of membership access for MyLO sites is a free service included with a League's MyLO subscription.
Is My League Using MyLO?
You can always check our homepage to see if your League is listed. If they are, their name will be a link to their MyLO homepage. Not seeing them listed on the Registration page? Referring to step #5 above, a webmaster must have previously added their League to the list of Leagues on the registration page -- MyLO webmasters can follow these instructions to set that up).
NOTE: The MyLO system [https://my.lwv.org] is not at all connected with the LWVUS Membership Portal [https://portal.lwv.org], so separate logins would be required for these systems.
