Ways To Participate

The League of Women Voters has encouraged informed and active citizen participation in government for over 100 years. We'd love to have you join us.

​GET INVOLVED

Attend An Event

Voters Forums are free, open to the public and let citizens hear from and ask questions of candidates and proponents and opponents of ballot measures.

They are held around the time ballots are mailed.

 

Monthly meetings feature speakers that provide information and opinions about issues of local interest. Recent forums have been on Election Security.

Food Insecurity, the Marine Environment and Teen Homelessness. They are held the second Monday each month.

 

LWVSJ sponsors occasional Voter Registration events or has an information table at community events like the County Fair or Farmers Market.

 

Both forums and monthly meetings can be attended in person or via Zoom.

 

Find more information about our forums here and visit our events page to see what's happening this month!

  • Make sure the government is following open meeting ("sunshine") laws;

  • Promote transparency and accountability in government through regular oversight;

  • Educate the public about what is going on in government; and

  • Identify issues for League advocacy.
