LWVUS, LWVAZ and LWVKS applaud the decision by the EAC to reject requests from the states of Arizona and Kansas to modify the national mail-in voter registration form to require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship.

The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 protects the rights of all voters from discrimination and repairs the damage to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 inflicted by the U.S. Supreme Court.

We are pleased with the Obama Administration's new proposal to limit the amount of carbon pollution for power plants. Climate change is the greatest challenge of our lifetime.

In 2014, we hope to build upon our recent victories protecting the right to vote and focus on proactive election reforms, while also continuing to battle back against attacks on voting rights at the local, state and national levels.

It's possible that when we look back at 2013, we'll see it as a watershed year - the year America realized we need to expand access to the polls, not create new barriers to voting.

The League of Women Voters of the U.S. today spoke out in support of the new notice of proposed rulemaking for non-profit, 501(c)(4) organizations announced last week by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Read the League's motion to intervene in Kobach et al v. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).

We intervened in Kobach v. Election Assistance Commission, which concerns the documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement on the national mail-in voter registration application.

In a statement submitted before the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, the League of Women Voters of the United States urged the commission to improve the polling place experience.

Following today’s EPA proposal of the first-ever national carbon pollution standards for new power plants, a coalition of environmental and progressive groups, supporting strong clean air standards, pledged their support for this important action.
