JACKSON, Miss. — Voting rights advocates celebrate a significant victory as the Mississippi Legislature rolled back an unlawful restriction placed on voters.

This legislative change, which takes effect July 1, follows a successful lawsuit led by Disability Rights Mississippi, the League of Women Voters of Mississippi, and three individual Mississippi voters.

WASHINGTON – The League of Women Voters of the United States is pleased to announce Celina Stewart as the next Chief Executive Officer. 

Delegates at the League of Women Voters National Convention elected Dianna Wynn to serve as the 22nd president of the organization on Friday, June 28th, 2024.

Every June, the League, our partners, and people around the country await the US Supreme Court’s (SCOTUS) opinions on critical issues like access to the ballot, redistricting, reproductive rights, and more. This blog reflects on several end-of-term cases from the last decade or so that have had a major impact on democracy.
