President’s Perspective
Voter education has been an integral component of the League of Women Voters for well over a century. Our members are committed to providing non-partisan materials and information whereby well-informed voters cast their ballot and fully participate in our democracy.
Please join us at various community events as members of League of Women Voters Topeka-Shawnee County disseminate materials and answer questions about how one may become a registered voter, update their voter registration if they have had a change of address, confirm their polling location, and learn about candidate’s qualifications through VOTE411.org.
