Welcome to the League of Women Voters of the Houston Area
We are a non-partisan political organization working to encourage active and informed participation in government.
Our volunteers attend naturalization ceremonies and register new voters. Each year, we help over 20,000 new citizens register to vote shortly after they’ve taken the oath of citizenship.
Read our 98th Annual Report.
We produce a Voters Guide for every election. Our non-partisan approach allows the candidates to speak to the issues, and to speak for themselves.
Our rising stars award honors emerging champions of civic engagement who are making an impact. Applications for the class of 2018-2019 will open soon.
Our volunteers participate in phone banking on election day, answering questions about poll locations and voter requirements.
Along with the state and national League, we have a series of issues we study and positions we take.
We host forums, debates, and innovative events for people interested in the political process.
We produce public affairs programs exploring important issues. Watch this discussion tackling the August 25 Harris County Bond Election, seeking to secure funding for improved flood management . Houston’s Chief Resilience Officer Stephen Costello , LWV’s Phillip Yates, Professor David Branham of UH/D and Hector DeLeon of the Harris County Clerk’s Office are featured. Telecast live on June 7, 2018.
