Portland Area

For over 100 years, the League has been a powerful, grassroots organization that works to educate voters and make government more accountable to the people. The legacy of the League of Women Voters is bold. Click here to join the Portland Area League of Women Voters.

• We proudly operate as a nonpartisan, fact-based source of information for voters.
• We study together to educate ourselves prior to taking action.
• We appreciate being part of a national organization but want to work locally.
• We love increasing the number of registered voters.
• We advocate for policies that improve our democracy.
• We honor and continue the important history of the League of Women Voters.

The League of Women Voters of the Portland Area serves Southern Maine, including York, Cumberland, and Sagadahoc counties. We have a great schedule ahead for 2021-2022. LWVPA loves questions! Contact us at portland@lwvme.org.
