Making Dues Payments

  • You also have the option to pay by credit or debit card.
  • You will receive an online confirmation and an email receipt for your payment.
  • Only the LWVLoCo portion of your membership dues will be tax-deductible. The receipt will show the 20% of your dues going to the LWVLoCo and can serve as your tax receipt.
  • Your membership dues payment will show up as three transactions on your account — one each to LWVLoCo, LWVO, 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. 
  • We strongly discourage the use of checks for membership. If you wish to pay by check, please contact the Treasurer @ lwvloco [at] gmail.com (.)
