LWV 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 continues its 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 participates in this endeavor and has 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.
Monthly Meetings
We conducted a local LWVSCA meeting on November 4 and will resume getting together on January 13, 2027. More information will be available in December about the topic of large data centers.
Post Election by the Numbers
Minnesota has made history again, with unofficial results showing more than 2.8 voters cast ballots, representing almost 65% of those eligible. This sets a new state record for mid-term election turnout, (300,000 more than in 2022.) and we are on track to be number one in the nation. Over the entire election season, hundreds of volunteers helped people register to vote, learn about the candidates, and make a voting plan. On November 3, more than 30,000 Minnesotans served as election workers. Kudos to our election administrators for supporting all these moving parts in an effective, transparent manner.
