Who we are:

The League of Women Voters of Lexington, KY, is the local chapter of a national nonpartisan political organization that works to encourage the informed and active participation of citizens in government. The League of Women Voters is fully committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Our name has it’s roots in our history of helping women realize their newly achieved right to vote after ratification of the 19th Amendment, however our membership is open to people of every gender identity and expression.

LWV of Lexington works to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. We may take action on local government measures and policies in the public interest in conformity with the principles of the League of Women Voters of the US. We do not support or oppose any political party or candidate.
