Educating Voters
Educating Voters
We host hundreds of events and programs every year to educate voters about candidates in thousands of federal, state and local races, as well as distribute millions of educational materials about state and local elections.
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.

Gender equity is America is linked to women exercising the right to vote.
That was the takeaway last week, from the Women United Global Leadership Council's latest installment of our gender equity panel series. Moderated by the founder of Brave Philanthropist, Sophia Fifner, this panel included Kyra Miller from the National Women’s Law Center, Priestley Johnson of When We All Vote, and Jessica Jones Capparell from the League of Women Voters. This riveting discussion about gender equity, childcare, and the importance of women making their voices heard at the polls served as a rallying moment for Women United. Here are a few of my key takeaways from the event.

The public can rest assured that the League of Women Voters of Bowling Green will persist in our efforts to encourage political responsibility through informed, active participation in government. We will continue to give candidates opportunities to present their views publicly and seek ways to make these opportunities available to all candidates.
From less crowding to more scheduling flexibility, there are a ton of reasons to vote early. We asked our staff why they're casting their ballots in advance of Election Day.
