The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grass-roots organization of volunteers committed to empowering voters and defending democracy. Founded in 1920, the League's purpose was to give newly enfranchised women sufficient information to vote with confidence. Today, the League of Women Voters of Bucks County, is dedicated to providing voter education and services and advocating for issues. We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.

The right to vote is essential to a well-functioning democracy. There are many historic moments that occurred in the month of July to expand voting for previously disenfranchised American citizens. Here are some to commemorate.
