League of Women Voters

The League of Women Voters, established in 1920, is a civic nonprofit that encourages informed and active participation in government. Originally formed to help women exercise their new right to vote, the League is nonpartisan and works on expanding voting rights, improving elections, and educating voters. The LWV registers and turns out voters, fights voter suppression through advocacy and litigation (e.g., as plaintiffs in voting rights cases), and has supported reforms like independent redistricting and voting by mail:. With local leagues in all 50 states, it also provides voter guides and sponsors candidate forums to strengthen democracy.
