Who Is the League of Women Voters? 

The League of Women Voters of the United States (LWVUS) is a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit dedicated to empowering everyone to fully participate in our democracy.

The League of Women Voters New Ulm Chapter is involved in a variety of voter registration and public education activities. Since its inception, the LWV-NU has sponsored public question and answer forums with  candidates for local school board, county board, city council  and legislative elections.

League membership is open to both men and women.

The League of Women Voters of New Ulm meets at 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month at Christ the King Lutheran Church.  All are welcome to join us.

The League works for a more inclusive democracy in which all Americans, regardless of gender, sex, race, ability, or party can see themselves represented in our government. We work to:

• Expand voter access 

• Fight voter suppression 

• Remove money from political campaigns 

• Create fair redistricting laws

• Conduct safe and fair elections.

Additionally, we promote social and economic justice through our positions on health care, the environment, immigration reform, and the census.

“Empowering Voters” is a program of the League of Women Voters – New Ulm, a trusted source of nonpartisan voter information, serving New Ulm and the Brown County area to ensure free, fair and safe elections.
