The Annual League Survey
The 2026 Annual League Survey (ALS) will launch on January 4, 2027.
The survey will be sent directly to each League inbox and administered through Alchemer. To ensure your League receives important ALS communications and reminders, please check ChapterSpot and confirm or update your League’s designated ALS Survey Contact before the survey launches.
As the League moves into our second century, effectively demonstrating our collective impact remains critical. The Annual League Survey helps LWVUS understand the activities, priorities, and reach of state and local Leagues and tell the story of how Leagues empower voters, defend democracy, and strengthen communities across the country.
Our ability to tell both individual and collective League stories depends on Leagues collecting and sharing data about their work. Through the ALS, we seek to better understand what Leagues do, how they do it, and who they do it with, while tracking changes over time and informing strategic decision-making.
Resources on this page, including the ALS Tracker, are available to help Leagues prepare for the survey and collect information throughout the year. These materials are resources only; the official Annual League Survey must be completed and submitted through Alchemer.

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!"
