Coming Up: Voters Service

Education

The LWVNV renewed its commitment to Voters Service, a core activity of the League, to provide voters with non-partisan information in preparation of the General Election in November.

The LWVNVʼs activities will include conducting voter registration drives, responding to citizensʼrequests to schedule local candidate forums, and moderating candidate forums with trained moderators.

Information about candidates will be available on the League of Women Votersʼnonpartisan website, VOTE411.org, launched in 2006.

Membership in the League is open to both men and women, who are at least 16 years of age and supportive of its mission.

The League of Women Voters of Northern Valley, a chapter of the League of Women Voters (LWV), is a non-partisan, grassroots civic organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of public policy issues and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The LWV was an outgrowth of the 19th Amendment passed in 1920 giving women the right to vote.

Today, the LWV operates at the state and local levels through more than 700 state and local Leagues in all 50 states and in Washington D.C., the Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

The League of Women Voters of Northern Valley was founded in 1946 as the League of Women Voters of Closter. By 1964, it included 11 municipalities in the Northern Valley and was renamed the League of Women Voters of Northern Valley.

Over the decades, the chapter expanded to encompass 29 municipalities.
