LWV encourages informed & active participation in government. We are a nonpartisan, activist, grassroots organization that believes voters should play a critical role in democracy.
105 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. However, not all women were allowed to vote until several years later. The LWV was formed just 6 months before this step for voting rights and women's rights. We honor the suffragists who fought for our rights.
