The League: Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy

The League of Women Voters  operates at three levels: local, state, and national.  

The federated structure of LWV comprises a national League and affiliated state and local Leagues that are separately incorporated. The local and state Leagues work in cooperation with the national League under rules incorporated into their bylaws. 

Those who join the League become members of their local League, their state League, and the national League.
