About the League of Women Voters
The League of Women Voters (LWV) works at the local, state and national
levels, paralleling the levels of American government. Most people know
us through the local League of Women Voters in their community. The
organization's name, like its mission, derives from the proud legacy of
the women's suffrage movement. Today's members are women and men; any
citizen aged 18 or older can join. Members may join through any level
of the League, and with membership comes the opportunity to work on
local, state, regional and national public policy issues.
In 1972, the League of Women Voters of the Cleveland Area created
the League of Women Voters of Cleveland Educational Fund (LWVCEF), a
non-profit, tax-exempt 501c(3) organization to serve all citizens in
Cuyahoga County. The LWVCEF also houses the Voter Information Center
and staffs its hotline (216) 781-8376 for Cuyahoga County voter
information. The League staff is available to assist the public in
answering questions: What district do I live in? Where is my polling
place? How do I contact my elected officials? What issues are on my
ballot?
