EMPOWERING VOTERS
The League of Women Voters educates and advocates for voters, knowing that the leaders you elect make the decisions that affect YOU - jobs, health care, energy costs, security and more. The League helps you register, become informed on the candidates and issues, fight voter suppression, advocate for fair redistricting and... to VOTE.
