Local Government
Local governments make many crucial decisions that impact our everyday lives and future wellbeing. However, we often hear that people don't know how or where to begin getting involved. Here's our guide.
Maine Suffrage Trail
In honor of the suffrage centennial, in 2020 the William G. Pomeroy Foundation awarded every state five roadside markers to commemorate suffragists and locations in which suffrage activity took place. Learn more about these important activists who fought for suffrage in Maine.
Publications + Reports
The League produces a number of high-quality and in-depth reports, studies, and publications on important issues. We also produce non-partisan guides, toolkits, and newsletters to keep voters and members as up-to-date as possible. The League remains a top source for reliable, nonpartisan voter information.
League Studies
The League's study program consists of those governmental and public policy issues that League members in Maine have chosen for concerted study over the years. Studies can lead to adopted positions and advocacy. The League program process begins with selection and adoption of priority issues, continues with study and discussion, and culminates in action and change.
Videos + Recordings
The leaders we elect make the decisions that affect us all -- our jobs, health care, energy costs, security, and more. The League helps you get registered, get to know the candidates and issues, and get out and vote.
Youth Engagement
We're here to help high school and college students register to vote, educate about how local government and civic engagement works, and protect the voter rights of young people.
Youth Council
The youth council of the League of Women Voters of Maine is a group of high school and college students who take charge of getting people engaged in democracy in their schools and communities. We organize events, put on workshops, and have a newsletter full of opportunities.
