2024 Voters Guide

On Jan. 9, 1859, Carrie Chapman Catt, founder of the League of Women Voters, was born. She founded the League to provide civic education to women who had just won the right to vote. We're fiercely proud of our role in winning voting rights for some women, and heartbroken that we did not fight as hard for Black women and other women of color. We share Catt's words about democracy now not to transcend our past but as a reminder of the truth– democracy doesn't count until we all count.
