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, you may pay by check: click here for instructions.
- You will receive an online confirmation and an email receipt for your payment.
- Your membership dues payment will show up as three transactions on your account — one each to LWVCCA, LWVMA, 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.
