Increasing Voter Registration

Our volunteers have been out in force, working with passionate students to register new voters at their school walkouts, marches, and other events across the country. 

"It is safe to say that we have never registered this many people, so early in the year, during a non-presidential election year."

A fixture in the voter engagement field for 90+ years, LWVUS works to register and turn out new communities of voters. We aim to expand the electorate and ensure a democracy that reflects our diversity.

The League supports automatic voter registration. In Massachusetts, League Executive Director Meryl Kessler calls it, “the next logical step in the modernization of the electoral process”.
