League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis

The League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis educates and empowers citizens in seven counties. We're proud of our work to help Missouri voters cast an informed ballot each election.

• In 2024, LWVSTL volunteers helped almost 4,000 people register to vote (including 1,800 new citizens and more than 1,200 students).
• Sixty Speakers Bureau presentations reached 2,200 audience members.
• We moderated more than a dozen Candidate Forums before the April 2025 municipal elections.
• For the Voters Guide posted on VOTE411.org and published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, we reached out to 655 candidates for school board, mayor, city council and other local offices and summarized dozens of ballot issues. The Sunday paper has 85,000 subscribers and we distributed an additional 12,000 copies. 
• Our Get-Out-the-Vote team developed a toolkit and talked with almost a dozen different organizations about possible collaborations. Members handwrite thousands of postcards to send to unlikely voters each year. 

Our League was founded in November 1919, almost a year before the 19th Amendment was ratified in August 1920. Membership is open to men and women over the age of 16.
