Vote Today
Shape Tomorrow
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. We work to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influence public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate. Membership is open to anyone 16 years of age or older.
What We Do
We believe in encouraging citizens to register to vote and to take part in government and politics. The League sponsors candidate debates, conducts voter registration drives, and provides information about voting to the public. Thanks to our large grassroots membership network, our efforts span from Montauk to Plattsburgh to Buffalo and everywhere in between.
Action includes lobbying, writing letters and sending e-mails to public officials; testifying at public hearings; litigating to help clarify laws in the public interest; working in coalitions; monitoring elections and other government activities; and using public forums, panel discussions, League publications, and the media to provide information to members and the public.
The League educates New Yorkers of on the importance of their participation in government, the political process, and, most importantly, in the life of their home community; create awareness of the issues at the local, state and national levels and what average citizens can do to have an impact on their government; and instill in young people and new citizens the knowledge of their role and responsibilities in managing their own government.
