The Annual League Survey
As the League moves into our second century, we know it's critical that we effectively demonstrate our social impact. By demonstrating how we empower voters and defend democracy, we position the organization to remain relevant for the next 100 years, strengthen our brand and garner additional resources to support our initiatives.
Through the Annual League Survey, LWV will better understand Leagues’ activities and priorities. Our ability to tell our individual and collective League stories hinges on state and local Leagues collecting and sharing data. Our focus has been, as a League, what do we do? How do we do it? Who do we do it with? We hope to monitor changes over time while informing strategic decision-making.

Google Form for Data Collection
LWVUS worked together on a Google Form that Leagues can edit and use as they would like. It helps collect data about the work being done, completing the Annual League Survey, and showcasing League work. Please see the guidance document before copying the form!
A few best practices for tracking data:
- Delegate tracking tasks to those who work with the relevant categories
- Set reminders for yourself and your League to update the tracker
- Estimates are ok! We do not expect your League to track exact numbers for everything
See our Data Collection Toolkit for more information on collecting data!
If your League has any questions about tracking data, please reach out to Holley at [email protected].

Quotes from previous Annual League Surveys:
"This was a great call to action for our local league. It provided some new ideas and partners to pursue in 2025."
"This comprehensive survey was a great learning tool for our future planning and growth. Team input should be the norm for this type of survey. We can clearly see which areas of League work we have focused on, and which areas offer opportunities for our unit. Formal data tracking will be employed in 2024!"
2024 Annual League Survey Results
In an effort to share this data back with Leagues, we have created a report with all of the data we received. The data within is aggregate and deidentified. Leagues can use this report to see what Leagues across the country did in 2024 and are focusing on now! We heard from many Leagues that the survey process opened their eyes to so many possibilities and ways to do the work, so hopefully this can grow your League insight if nothing else. Please do not share this report externally, and rather use it as a tool in your work.
