JOIn Us!
The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Any person 16 and older may become a voting member of the League. Associate memberships (nonvoting) are also available for noncitizens and those younger than 16.
Learn more about what the League does!
To become a member, contact your local league directly. If you're not sure which league to contact or there isn't one in your area, you can call, write, or e-mail the state office. Otherwise individuals may join as a Washington State Member at Large.
Membership dues are sliding scale, so you can pay the dues amount that makes sense for you. The recommended annual dues amount is $75, but you can pay any amount more or less than that, to a minimum of $20. The dues amount you choose is split between the local, state, and national levels of LWV to support our work at all levels.

Forming a New League
Starting a League can be one of the most rewarding endeavors for individuals and for a community. The formal League structure includes provisional Leagues (new Leagues working toward full recognition as local Leagues), local Leagues, Inter-League Organizations (ILOs), units of members-at-large (members living outside the area of any local League) organized by some local Leagues, state Leagues, and the LWV of the United States.
