Why It Matters
The leaders we elect make decisions that affect our daily lives. Elections are our chance to stand up for what matters most to us and to have an impact on the issues that affect us, our communities, our families and our future.
What We're Doing
We host hundreds of candidate debates and forums across the country each year and provide straightforward information about candidates and ballot issues. Through print and online resources, including VOTE411.org, we equip voters with essential information about the election process in each state, including polling place hours and locations, ballot information, early or absentee voting rules, voter registration deadlines, ID requirements and more.

“... Elisabeth MacNamara, the president of the League of Women Voters of the United States, says, “The fact that this is being touted as a way of making the system more secure ... is just a false argument.”
“This month, nearly 650 Berkeley County high school students registered to vote for the first time, thanks to the local chapter of the League of Women Voters. In Charleston County schools, the league signed up nearly 1,000 new 18-year-old voters. All of whom have proper ID, thank you very much.”
Students “sign up to vote at the League of Women Voters table earlier this month on North Lake [TX] College's Central Campus.”
