LWV 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.
