On February 14, 1920, the League was founded as an outgrowth of the suffrage movement that secured women’s right to vote - passage of the 19th amendment that same year.

The League has worked for 100+ years to educate voters on local, state and national issues, believing that informed voters create a better democracy. Today we continue to work for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The League of Women Voters’ longevity is due to the quality of its mission to empower voters and defend democracy. The League is non-profit, non-partisan, volunteer driven and works to influence public policy through education and advocacy.

We look forward to many more decades of voter education and advocacy.
