TO JOIN:
LWV launched a new member portal nationwide in February 2025. Current members received an email with login instructions, and the portal is accessible via the LWV, LWVMI, and LWVNEMI websites. Your account remains active until renewal is due. Once logged in, you can update your contact information, set payment preferences, and choose to auto-renew.
Dues now follow a pay-what-you-can model (min. $20, recommended $75). Household memberships were discontinued, but a second member can be added for an additional $20. A portion of dues supports local, state, and national Leagues, and members can also make direct contributions to LWVNEMI. Online renewal is encouraged for faster processing, but check payments are still accepted. Please use this form for checks: LWV Membership Form
Whether you are a current member or would like to join, please click on the log in portal button above.
WHO ARE THE MEMBERS?
Membership in the League of Women Voters, the most respected and effective grassroots organization in the country, is open to men and women 16 years of age or older.
Our members make a visible difference by serving as community leaders using their experience to create positive, lasting change in our communities.
WHY SHOULD I JOIN?
Through participation in League projects, you will:
- Contribute valuable service to the community
- Gain knowledge and experience through the study and discussion of timely and important topics
- Discover new interests, develop new skills and learn about crucial issues in your community
- Make professional contacts and develop lasting friendships as you meet others in League who share your interests
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE?
It’s up to you! Many members choose to support the League only with their annual dues. Your membership alone gives us the political influence needed to build a voice for citizens and a force for change. We cover a broad spectrum of issues and concerns; you may choose to become involved in one or more of them by actively participating in a group study, or listening to a panel of experts at a meeting or just reading about them in one of our publications.
WHAT DO I GET?
You automatically become a member of LWV Michigan and LWV of the United States. You will receive their publications along with the newsletter from the Northeast Michigan League of Women Voters called The Voter which is usually published 10 times each year . You will have the knowledge that you are adding your voice to a powerful force of members from all 50 states, Washington DC, the Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong.
