  • learn about crucial issues in our community and be a part of the policy process

Membership dues

  • Individual members: $75 per year is the recommended amount, or pay what you can ($20 minimum).
  • You can add a second member ($150 total for both recommended, $40 for both minimum), but each of you will need to provide a unique email address.
  • Life members: In appreciation of their dedication to democracy, Life Members (members for more than 50 years) are exempt from membership dues.

Extend your impact with an optional donation

The League of Women Voters recently celebrated its 105th anniversary. That's 105 years of empowering voters and defending democracy.

You can be a part of this long legacy by joining or renewing your membership... or you can take an extra step and contribute $105 to mark the anniversary!

Fifty dollars makes you a full-fledged member of the National, State, and Charleston Area League of Women Voters and the additional donation goes directly to LWV Charleston Area in support of our work to register and educate voters and advocate for voter rights in a time when they are being threatened. PayPal fees are waived with additional donations.

By renewing your membership (and perhaps adding a donation), you'll be a part of the TEAM who can make a difference!


Add your voice to a powerful force of over 150,000 members in all 50 states, including more than 200 members in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. You automatically become a member of LWV of South Carolina and LWV of the United States too, and receive LWVSC's The South Carolina Voter.

Thank you for your support!
