League of Women Voters of Seattle King County

Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy. 

You become part of a powerful movement committed to making positive change in our democracy locally when you join forces with Seattle King County League of Women Voters (LWVSKC). Whether you’re passionate about promoting voter education and participation, furthering youth civic empowerment, or advocating for social justice, the League offers a platform to make your voice heard. We are powered by amazing volunteers and the generous support of donors like you.  

Power to the People! The league empowers voters to participate in our democracy. Our work includes:  

• Shape the future of your community: Elections have real consequences, and the choices we make at the ballot box can shape the future of our communities for years to come. Our candidate forums help voters decide which leaders represent their values and priorities. 
•  Inform voters like you: Understanding who your representatives are and what they stand for is essential to being an informed voter. Our TRY “They Represent You” booklet empowers voters like you to make their voice heard by providing the unbiased information we need to hold your representatives accountable. 
• Uphold the integrity of our democracy: LWVSKC members observe at King County Elections from collection at ballot boxes, to acceptance at King County Elections in Renton, through complete processing of ballots and audits.
• Encourage full voter participation:  LWVSKC members register voters at naturalization ceremonies to encourage all new citizens to actively engage in our democracy.
• Make your voice heard: When you know how decisions are made and who is making them, you can better advocate for the changes you want to see. Our educational activities provide you and others with the knowledge and tools needed to make our voice heard and create positive change in your community.
• All LWVSKC work is nonpartisan: We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate. 

We are committed to empowering the next generation of voters.

• Amplifying youth voices: Young people have the power to make a real difference in our democracy, and our Civics and You! program provides high school teachers with great educational resources so students can actively engage in their civics learning.
  
• Building the next generation of voters: Our voter registration drives in high schools are designed to inspire the next generation of voters.
• Student-led forums: LWVSKC partners with high school teachers to have their students organize and conduct candidate forums.
• Practice voting: Working with King County Elections, LWVSKC offers practice voting for high school students. 
• Inspiring the next generation of leaders: Our Observer Corps program gives young people the tools they need to become active participants in their local government. We’re creating a pipeline of young leaders who are working to create positive change in their communities.
