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. ​​
LWVSCA Activities This Summer
​​​​​Our monthly meetings will resume in September. In July, we will create a schedule for 2026-2027. The LWVSCA Programming Team is organizing a gathering on July 14 to brainstorm and vote on topics for our year ahead.
Other LWVSCA teams will be very active over the summer. The Outreach Team will be in the community registering and educating voters for the mid-term election. Look for our table at the Juneteenth celebration at Lake George on June 19th. The Voter Service Team will be organizing candidate forums to be conducted at the end of September and early October. Once the forums are scheduled, the Communication Team will publicize them. Stay tuned to this website for more information.​​
