League of Women Voters of Charlottesville/Albemarle

The League of Women Voters of Charlottesville and Albemarle County was founded in 1946 to encourage public participation in all levels of government. The organization is non-partisan and has never endorsed or supported a candidate for public office. However, the group has taken political positions through the years.

Membership is open to anyone over the age of 18 at a cost of $10 to cover subscription to publications. Activities include candidate forums, a voter guide, voter registation, and a guide to locally-elected officials.
