Leagues encouraged voters to make their voting plans on October 28, Vote Early Day, with members sharing their own early voting stories.
Voting early empowers people to cast their ballots at the time most convenient to them, making elections more accessible.
Another part of election accessibility is the availability of information about political candidates. Our candidate voting guides are now live, offering information on your local races.

On October 26, Leagues from all 50 states and DC filed an amicus brief in Moore v. Harper. The case concerns the so-called “independent state legislature theory,” which, if adopted, would have far-reaching implications for the future of American democracy.
As LWV’s CEO Virginia Kase Solomón stated in our press release:
“Historically, state legislatures have enacted the most harmful and suppressive anti-voter laws...The Independent State Legislature Theory is a dangerous, fringe ideology that leaves voters effectively defenseless from harmful election laws.”
