THE ABC’s OF LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP
Membership is open to anyone 16 years of age or older
Membership in the League of Women Voters is conducted through the LWV Member Portal. Members joining any one level of the League automatically become part of the entire League of Women Voters network.
Annual dues range from $20 to $75. Members living outside local League areas may become Members-at-Large of the state League, or join a local League. Those who live within an area of a local League may join that League or any other local League.
The state and local Leagues you may join are listed below. We encourage you to become a member and join our community. For those interested in supporting us further, contributions should be sent directly to each respective League Secretary:

Still deciding? Learn more about each local League:
Member-at-Large
This is an individual member of the State League who lives outside the area of a local League. As part of the League network, Members at-Large receive the national VOTER and the West Virginia VOTER. Additional state League information on program and action is sent from time to time via our email list.
Member-at-Large Unit
This is an organized group of at least 10 Members-at-Large of the State League. Such groups may be organized at the discretion of the state board in communities where there appears to be sufficient interest. MAL Units may have a small steering committee, but no official board of directors since they are a sub-unit of the State board of Directors. They hold at least four meetings per year and may participate in state and national studies, make program recommendations, and perform Voters Service activities in their community with the permission of the state. Currently, there is no active MAL Unit.
Local League
This is a tightly structured group of at least 25 members who have been granted official recognition by the state and national League. Local Leagues have their own bylaws, elect their own officers, and set their own dues. In addition to participating in state and national program items, they conduct an in-depth study of local government, and carry out voters service, action, public relations and financial development in their communities: Huntington, Jefferson County, and Morgantown-Monongalia County.
