February 14 marks our birthday. We were founded on February 14, 1920, after the 19th amendment was ratified and women won the right to vote.
This year on the anniversary of our founding, we'll talk about the suffrage movement of our century: lowering the voting age to 16. A bill has been submitted to the Maine Legislature, and we'll talk about supporting our youth leaders to get this bill across the finish line. Register below to join this webinar virtually on Zoom.
The League of Women Voters of Maine supports lowering the voting age after we conducted a rigorous study in 2023. Learn more about the study at: www.lwvme.org/VotingAgeStudy.
