Who can join?

It is important to note that we are strictly non-partisan and never support candidates or political parties, but we advocate for issues based on our policy positions.

Membership in the League of Women Voters of La Plata County is open to anyone who subscribes to the Purpose and Policies of the League. Voting members must be at least sixteen years old. Students younger than 16 can join as non-voting Associate Members.

Our League works for a stronger democracy, rooted in principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. We are committed to ensuring that every voice is heard, every individual is counted, and every person has a seat at the table.

Members joining us locally also become members of the state LWV Colorado and national LWV. To support the crucial activities of the state and national Leagues, local Leagues make an annual Per Member Payment (PMP) on behalf of each member. 

Why should I join?

Joining the League of Women Voters is a great way to learn about governmental issues and play an active role in our democracy. The League studies a broad range of issues in order to arrive, through bottoms-up consensus, at local, state and national policy positions (link to take action) from which we can advocate.

Our volunteers work to register new voters, host candidate and ballot issue forums, offer educational events, and provide voters with up-to-date election information. 

We engage elected officials at the local, state and national levels on legislative priorities and efforts to safeguard and improve our election systems.

Your participation allows us to host local events and forums, to lobby our state legislators on important policy issues and to help protect and defend our democracy in our state, and at the federal level, often through the court systems.  Your dues also help underwrite the State Ballot Issues Pamphlets which are widely distributed and used by voters to help them understand the complexities.

Our member meetings are educational and informative, with local and state speakers on a variety of topics relevant to our mission.   We meet women and men as passionate as ourselves about our country. We also have fun!

Your Dues

We offer several categories of Membership: individual and household. In each of these categories we hope you will consider Supporting memberships, which provides us with much needed funds that go directly to support our mission in La Plata County.
