Membership in the League of Women Voters is open to everyone over age 16, and it’s “not for women only.” There are over 40 local Leagues across New York State and over 700 across the country. When you join our League, you also become a member of the New York State and the national Leagues, which each take a portion of your dues.

This membership opens resources for learning about well-studied issues; opportunities to get involved in local, state and national issues; and some of the most interesting, informed, and engaged people you will meet in any organization. Your donations help keep us running. To learn more about how we use your dues and gifts, scroll down.
