Our Programs

The League of Women Voters of Lexington strives to provide a service to our community of citizens.  We work to educate people on the importance of voting, addressing voter issues and barriers to free and fair elections. Our programs are expanding, following the interests of new and existing members.

Candidate Forums

The LWV provides a fair, structured  format for candidates to share their ideas and stances with the voting public. 

VOTE 411

Register to vote, check your registration, find out where to vote and who is on your particular ballot. Tons of information available at https://www.vote411.org/lwvky

Community Conversations

Throughout the year the League identifies concerns in the community,  then invites local experts to discuss the issue, stimulate a conversation and inform potential actions.

Voter Registration

The League provides voter registration at various community centers, festivals, living facilities and other events and spaces. 

Observer Corps

Volunteers attend government and community meetings to ensure transparency in decision-making. 

New Citizen outreach

The League is committed to helping our country's newest citizens take the first step in their civic responsibilities: registering to vote!

Voter Enfranchisement

Whether it is the challenge of partisan-drawn voting districts or the obstacles faced by people with prior felony convictions seeking to regain their civil rights, the League works to identify barriers to a working democracy. Every citizen deserves to have their voice heard and to have fair representation in government.

OPEN PRIMARIES

The League of Women Voters has conducted a study of Open Primaries and after gathering feedback from the membership, the League is in support of legislation that would open primaries in Kentucky to include the ability for Independents and Other to vote in the primary elections.
