Civic Engagement and Voting!

League of Women Voters envisions a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.

We empower voters through candidate and education forums, voter registration, get out the vote events, civic education and observing of King County Elections. And we defend democracy through our advocacy work - which is based on long developed and held League positions.  

You can take action and be empowered this election season by attending a candidate forum in your area.

Click here for details of the forums LWVSKC is hosting, co-hosting or supporting in September and October. Links to videos of past events are being added as they become available.
Be A Voter!
Your voice matters, so be a voter and make your voice heard! Voting isn't just a right, it’s a powerful way to shape the community you live in, advocate for what is important to you and create real change. Voting is your democracy in action!

Ballots for the over 1.4 million registered voters in King County have been mailed so look for yours no later than Monday, October 20. If you do not receive your ballot by then, contact King County Elections at 206-296-VOTE (8683).

Election Day is November 4! USPS is recommending that voters mail their ballots back at least one week before Election Day - which is October 28. (Ballots mailed back in the last days before Election Day are not guaranteed to be received on time). So, after October 28 use one of the 85 Drop Boxes.

King County Elections Renton Headquarters is available to assist voters. Additionally, on Saturday, November 1, Vote Centers will open in Bellevue, Federal Way, Kenmore, Kent and Seattle. The UW Student Engagement Hub will also open on that day.

The League of Women Voters has fought since 1920 to improve U.S. systems of government and impact public policies through education and advocacy. The League's enduring vitality and resonance comes from its grassroots nature, with members operating at the national, state, and local levels working towards the goal of "making democracy work."

There are Leagues in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, in addition to the hundreds of local Leagues nationwide.

The League of Women Voters is strictly nonpartisan; it neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government. The League makes a difference at every level of government because of the energy and passion of thousands of members around the country who work together to safeguard our democracy.
