New Resources from The League of Women Voters

The League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) has embarked upon a voter education campaign with the publication of “5 Things You Need to Know on Election Day” cards. The cards are meant to familiarize voters with new election procedures, to ensure that votes are properly counted, and to kick off a public awareness effort that involves a LWVUS tour in the run-up to the November election. The League also issued a report Helping America Vote: Safeguarding the Vote that provides guidelines for state and local election officials to implement better election practices. Read the report at
