Young Voters

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — As Election Day approaches, two League of Women Voters members were on Newsmakers to tell host Andrew Donovan more about what the League does and what it represents.

The Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA) led a get-out-the-vote campaign Oct. 10 in partnership with the League of Women Voters (LWV). 

VOTE411.org, our one-stop-shop for election information, just turned 18. That means if we choose to personify her — and clearly, we do — she's a Gen Z-er of voting age. And she's got some advice for you about making your voice heard this November in a very demure and mindful way.

The League of Women Voters of Ohio (LWVO) brought its first voter registration roadshow to Miami University on Saturday, Sept. 21 during Oxford’s Oxtoberfest.

League of Women Voters, defunct for four years, relaunches two months before elections.

“At the League of Women Voters, our goal is to ensure that every person can make their voices heard — in the streets and at the polls. We firmly believe that, like voting, peaceful protest is a constitutional right deeply rooted in American democracy. Both voting and protest are powerful tools for driving change.
