Join us for the last Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training before the election. The League requires  members who engage with the public to have this training, and this year we need you to engage with the public.
The training provides approved methods for interacting with the public that will increase the odds of a positive interaction.

When: October 10, 2024 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Where: North Kansas City Public Library, 2251 Howell St, NKCMO
Register here!

What questions do you have for candidates for the Missouri House and Senate? You can submit your questions here!
The public is invited to craft questions to promote a lively dialogue. The first of eight candidate forums will be on Tuesday, October 8 (TONIGHT), followed by 7 more on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The forums will start on Zoom at 6:30.
Find all the candidate forums here!
All League members (and their friends and other contacts) are encouraged to attend, and also to submit questions for the candidates here!
All information, including registration and Zoom links, can be found through the Consolidated Candidate & Issues Calendar here!
The forums will be posted to YouTube within 24 hours of the live events here!

From voter registration to tallying ballots to reporting results, technology—computers and software—plays a central role in almost every aspect of U.S. elections. Information technology has become essential for managing the U.S.'s complex elections, and, when all goes well, provides great benefits in efficiency, accuracy, and usability.
Visit UMKC’s beautiful Linda Hall Library for a lecture on how voting systems are protected, how they help insure the accuracy of our elections, and how they reduce the need for risky human counting of ballots.
The event is free, but registration is required here!

We all know what an important election year this is for our city, state and country. Our form of government and the quality of our democracy are on the line. The League, at every level, is fully engaged in Empowering Voters and Defending Democracy. Not only does that place a demand on our members’ time and talents, but it also requires more financial support to reach voters, increase turnout, produce materials, and buy advertising.
The Adopt-A-Poll program is a proven way to generate much-needed funds for LWVKC and provide the poll workers the Kansas City Election Board depends on to deliver the well-managed elections they are known for.
Plan now to continue as a veteran poll worker or become a new recruit. You can find all the necessary information here!
Make a plan to turn in your application paperwork by October 1st.
This Alert comes with a serious but achievable GOAL.
The Kansas City Election Board will pay the League directly if we have at least 10 participants. We’ve made that hurdle in the past.
I’m asking our members to double that so that we have 20 poll workers at the November 5th General Election. That would raise about $11,000!
We can do this! I’ll be there again like the last two presidential elections, and every election in between. And I’m reaching out a little early so you can find a way to join this valuable public service that is so much a part of the League’s brand.

The 2024 judicial performance reviews are now available online here!
More information can be found here!

The debates are over, and we are finally in the 30 day window when most people actually decide who and what to vote for. So it’s time for all of us to reach out into the community to provide quality information about how, when, and where to vote. We also need to educate ourselves on the many ballot issues that will appear on the November ballot, from reproductive and medical privacy rights, to sports gambling, to ranked-choice voting.

So my call-to-action is to have your phone ready with the Ballot Measures website already pulled up. This will let you immediately step in to correct any disinformation, or misinformation being passed among your friends and family. Be kind, but firm in making sure everyone understands the actual issues they will be voting on in November. The website can be found here!

Be the hero who stands up for the truth that will save our democracy.

Do you have an idea for a future meeting topic or guest speaker? How about a great design for a “Get-out-the-vote” poster? Or maybe you’ve been wanting to present a Power Point on redistricting.

Now’s your chance!

Put a suggestion in our suggestion box and you just might have the next great idea that we will share with the state and national organizations. Then, you will be famous.

It all starts by filling out the form and submitting it to our suggestion box here!
