Our members are passionate activists who support our work
in all 50 states and in more than 785 communities.
Joining the League of Women Voters is a great way to get involved in your community and play an active role in our democracy. Be part of a nationwide community of League members in over 785 nationwide Leagues, 60+ California Leagues, and 22 Bay Area Leagues in 9-Bay Area Counties.
​
Our volunteers work year-round to register new voters, host community forums and debates, and provide voters with the election information they need. We engage at the local and state levels on legislative priorities and efforts to improve our elections.
​​Who Can Join?
Everyone is welcome! Membership in the League of Women Voters is open to anyone 16 years or older.
Be the change. League members across the country, the state, and in local communities are driving change, building a democracy for people not politicians, engaging voters, and fighting for equity for all people. Protecting our democracy and working for justice will take every one of us – and there is a home in the League for everyone. We welcome all people who share our vision for a more equitable California for all. Beginning February 3, 2025, joining or renewing the League has changed. The Join/Renew Process is explained in this video. You can also visit this link to read about the transformation. Looking to renew by check? Click here for a printable form.

How much time commitment does membership require?
It's up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and participate in a wide variety of activities. You may choose to become actively involved in one or more of our committees or projects, depending on your time and interests. Please complete our member interest survey.
