How and where do I register to vote?

The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.

Voters Service/Citizen Education: We present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

Action/Advocacy: We are also nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

This page is the Voters Service role
