Join the League of Women Voters and be part of an organization that is:

Empowering millions of voters to exercise their right to vote by holding voter registration drives, sponsoring candidate forums and debates, and informing the public about their rights on Election Day.

Protecting the right to vote and ensuring every vote is counted by fighting for free, fair, and accessible voting systems.

It is important to celebrate that VOTE411 did what it was designed to do this cycle - educating voters. We had information on more candidates in more languages that were viewed by more voters than any election cycle, and that's something to be extremely proud of! More specifically, between January 1- November 5th, just shy of 9.2 million voters turned to VOTE411 for their election information.
