Join or Renew LWVSPA Membership
The League of Women Voters is made up of a diverse group of members. Residents from all over St. Petersburg – men and women – and all walks of life work together to move our organization forward. By becoming a League member, you can join a larger movement to encourage our community to participate in American democracy and become civically engaged.
As of February 3, 2025 League of Women Voters (LWV) members from across the nation pay annual dues to the National LWV office rather than their local League.
Membership Information
Membership dues are on a sliding scale.
Individual members: $75 per year is the recommended amount, or pay what you can ($20 minimum).
You can add a second household member ($150 total for both recommended, $40 for both minimum), but each member will need a unique email address.
Dues are split between the LWVSPA (20%), LWVFL (47%) and LWVUS (33%) and paid annually by members, renewable on your Join Date anniversary each year.
We are asking LWVSPA members to consider:
Although members are presented with the option to join at a “higher level” than $75 on the national website or to make a donation there, our local League will, unfortunately, only receive a fraction of that.
For those willing and able to make a donation in addition to the $75 membership fee to LWVUS, we ask you to make that extra donation here locally using our direct donation link below. This ensures that the donation will come directly to LWVSPA.
Renewing members: Upon log in, please use the same email address currently in your member file. If your email address ever changes, navigate to your profile on the LWV Portal and edit the “preferred email” tab.
When you join the League of Women Voters, we will help you learn more about how our organization works. We frequently have new member orientation meetings, social get-togethers with other league members, and have a dedicated New Member Handbook so you can get to know our history and operating procedures. You can also contact office@lwvspa.org to learn more.
New Member Orientation
New member orientation meetings are typically held quarterly. During these meetings, you can meet other new members, learn about upcoming volunteer opportunities, and familiarize yourself with League priorities. Feel free to ask questions during these meetings or share why you decided to join. To attend an upcoming new member orientation, check out our events page.
Citizens play a critical role in our nation’s democracy, and a decision to become a League Member is a decision to make democracy work. We serve as local leaders, using our talents and experience to create lasting change in our community. Your membership helps give the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area (LWVSPA) the clout needed to empower citizens and be a force for change. Your voice is welcomed and will be heard. Join us in creating a more perfect democracy.
