Looking to the future, the League of Women Voters is moving to a centralized dues processing system. Starting in 2025, instead of paying your dues to the League of the Women Voters of Kent, you will be paying the League of Women Voters US.  

In order to make this change as seamless as possible - WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!  

Why is LWVUS adopting a unified dues system? 

• This will increase and diversify overall membership and will increase our ability to fulfill our mission.
• Restructuring dues will increase funding at state and local levels. 
• Adopting technology that streamlines dues processing will free up time to focus on substantive work.

HOW TO LOGIN!

• Head to the home page of this website: https://my.lwv.org/ohio/kent.
• Click on the yellow button that reads "LWV Member Portal" in the left hand corner of the top red header. 
• You'll come to a new window where you will enter the email you first used to join League.
• After you enter the email, you'll receive a verification code via email. Type that in and hit enter.
• You should now be at a form to complete and submit.
• At some point you may encounter a page asking for payment. DO NOT PAY! You are a current member in good standing. Click on a tab at the bottom and you should move to another page.
• You will end at a page that shows your account with your name, name of your League and your expiration date.
• This is where you will renew and pay some time after your dues expire on June 30, 2025.

The account page is where you will  be able to update that account whenever you have changes to personal information, such as a new address or new email.   

WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL THERE BE FOR THIS CHANGE?

Jane Preston Rose, our Roster Manager, spoke at our Jan. 6 All Member Meeting about the transition using ChapterSpot (an organization membership platform) and the new dues system. Read Jane's comments from the meeting here. 

As a current Kent League member, you won't be asked to pay any renewal dues at this time. Your renewal date is July 1, 2025. Jane explains that further in her comments.
