Membership System

The League of Women Voters (LWV) transitioned to a national, unified membership structure, effective February 3, 2025.  Members will continue to join local Leagues in order to participate in the organization. However, under the new system, all LWV members nationwide will log into a common membership platform enabling individuals to join, update their information, and pay dues online. A member's email address becomes that person's user name for database access.

 

All persons who use the membership portals on this page will be members of League of Women Voters, St. Cloud Area (LWVSCA). The Membership page has additional information. ​​​​​​​​​

​​Attention Minnesota Voters

LWV United States has begun a new initiative, Unite and Rise 8.5 through which “we will engage and mobilize 8.5 million voters to protect and preserve our democracy.” League members nationwide are encouraged to participate in education, action and advocacy efforts to combat anti-democratic actions. LWV Minnesota has joined this endeavor and said “This means that we (in this state) must engage 145,000 voters. Here is the link Unite and Rise! for Minnesota voters to sign on and participate. Currently, the link is available on our Facebook page, too. ​​
