The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization of women and men, has been educating and agitating for informed participation in government since its founding in 1920 and believes no form of participation is more important than voting.

TEXAS PRIMARY ELECTION DAY IS MAY 29

A Federal Court has approved May 29 as Primary Election Day in Texas. Challenges are still possible and the date may still change, but for now May 29th is on the calendar.  Early Voting is scheduled for May 14-25.  Any needed run-off elections will be held on July 31.

Elections and voting are core concerns for the League of Women Voters.  Year in and year out, Leagues are committed to providing fact-based information about issues and the positions candidates take on those issues to help voters make their own decisions and participate in the process.  The leaders you elect make the decisions that affect you--your job, health care, energy costs, security, and more. The League helps you to get registered, get to know the candidates and issues, and get out and vote. 
 

Photo Voter ID:  The Texas law requiring voters to show a photo ID at the polls was turned down by the Department of Justice but is currently being considered in federal courts.  Photo ID will not be required in the May elections, but may be in effect for the November 6 General Election, depending on the outcome in the courts.


Founded by women in 1920 following ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, today's League of Women Voters welcomes and includes all citizens interested in political participation.  We're not just for women only!

We're proud of our accomplishments!  Come join us and see the important work the League does.  Learn the history of the League and the stories of the brave, smart women who blazed the trails so that all citizens are able to cast their votes for people and issues that are important to them.  We are Democracy in action.
