State and National League News

From LWVUS

According to preliminary estimates from the University of Florida’s Election Lab, approximately 124.3 million Americans cast their ballots, up from approximately 112 million in 2022. The League of Women Voters today celebrates the millions of voters who made their voices heard, the election workers and administrators who made our elections possible, and the hundreds of thousands of voting and civil rights advocates who worked tirelessly to educate, protect, and empower voters.

The League shall not support or oppose any political party or candidates. It may take action on governmental measures and policies in the public interest after significant study and consensus is reached.
