Membership Information
Join Now
Joining the League is a great way to play an active role in your community and in our democracy! Everyone is welcome – membership in the League of Women Voters is open to anyone 16 years or older.
When you join the League of Women Voters of Lorain County, you are also joining the national, state and local Leagues. Thirty-three percent of your dues payment will go to LWVUS, forty-seven percent will go to LWV Ohio, and twenty percent will go to LWVLoCo.
Individual members: $75 per year is the recommended amount, or pay what you can ($20 minimum).
You can add a second member ($150 total for both recommended, $40 for both minimum), but they each will need to provide a unique email address.
Life members: In appreciation of their dedication to democracy, Life Members (members for more than 50 years) are exempt from membership dues.
This video will walk you through how to join or renew your membership at LWV. It also shows how to access and use the membership portal to update your profile information and view your past payments.
The preferred payment option is a direct bank transfer (ACH transfer), which minimizes fees. You’ll need your financial institution’s routing number and your account number. You also have the option to pay by credit or debit card.
You will receive an online confirmation and an email receipt for your payment.
Only the LWVLoCo portion of your membership dues will be tax-deductible. The receipt will show the 20% of your dues going to the LWVLoCo and can serve as your tax receipt.
Your membership dues payment will show up as three transactions on your account — one each to LWVLoCo, LWVO, and LWVUS. You’ll be a member of all three!
Keep things simple by automatically renewing each year! Just select auto-renewal when you are paying your dues.
We strongly discourage the use of checks for membership. If you wish to pay by check, please contact the Treasurer.
You will receive an email reminder to renew one year after your last renewal, with a link to “renew” on the LWV Member Portal.
If you have signed up for auto-renew, you will get a reminder that your membership is automatically renewing.
