description
The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization that works to protect and expand voting rights and ensure representation in U.S. democracy. It conducts advocacy, public education, and litigation at local, state, and national levels. LWV operates and promotes voter tools (such as VOTE411.org) to help people register to vote, find polling places, and view ballots, and coordinates more than 800 state and local Leagues to carry out community-level work.
LWV engages in legal advocacy by filing lawsuits, amicus briefs, and other court actions to challenge policies it views as unlawful or that would suppress voting (for example, litigation related to voter registration forms, executive actions affecting federal voter registration, and redistricting cases). It runs national campaigns and mobilization efforts to defend elections and promote fair representation. The site cites concrete activity and impact metrics (e.g., protecting millions of voters in court in 2024 and millions of users of VOTE411).
