As a longtime supporter, new staff, and active member of the Montgomery County, Maryland League of Women Voters, I believe that Leagues at the local, state, and national level do amazing work to register new voters, advocate for fair elections, inform voters through Vote411.org and provide core civic infrastructure around the country. 

LWV empowers voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation, at the local, state, and national levels. 

The League of Women Voters Education Fund works to encourage the active and informed participation of citizens in government and to increase understanding of major public policy issues. 

Mission: Empowering voters. Defending democracy. 

Vision: We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate. 

Value: We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy. 

We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy. That's been our vision since 1920, when the League of Women Voters was founded by leaders of the women’s suffrage movement. For 100 years, we have been a nonpartisan, activist, grassroots organization that believes voters should play a critical role in democracy. The League was officially founded in Chicago in 1920, just six months before the 19th amendment was ratified and women won the vote. Formed by the suffragists of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the League began as a "mighty political experiment" designed to help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters. February 14th, 2023, marks 103 years that the League of Women Voters has empowered voters and defended democracy. Over the last century, we’ve fought for election protection, democratic reforms, and equal access to the ballot—all while maintaining our commitment to nonpartisanship and fostering an informed electorate.
