The League of Women Voters is switching to a national membership management system . This will change the way members from all Leagues across the country will join, renew, and pay membership dues.
The League is a membership organization open to any person 16 years old and older who subscribes to the purpose, principles and policies of the League.
Beginning with the Suffrage Movement, women in Bucks County have worked to have a voice in the civic sphere. And two local organizations have made a significant impact in amplifying women’s voices in our community: the League of Women Voters and the Women’s Political Network of Pennsylvania.
Beginning next week, the League of Women Voters will officially transition to a new membership system for all Leagues across the country. We are excited about this transition as it will streamline our League’s administration of membership, and will increase our share of membership dues. On a League level, this is expected to increase membership around the country and increase our ability to empower voters and defend democracy.
