The League is a multi-issue, grassroots volunteer organization of concerned women and men working together to better understand and influence the issues that affect us, our families, and our future. We are a political, but non-partisan, organization dedicated to researching complex questions from all viewpoints. The League does not support or oppose any political party or candidate.

The League was founded in 1919 as the successor organization to the suffrage movement. We are highly respected and trusted by the community and by lawmakers at all levels of government.

The League operates at the local, state and national levels. Forty two local Leagues serve communities throughout the state of Minnesota. In the Twin Cities metropolitan area the Council of Metropolitan Area Leagues (CMAL), made up of local Leagues in the metropolitan area, focuses on Metropolitan issues. The League of Women Voters of Minnesota is supported through contributions and membership dues.
