HomeVoter Toolbox

LWV-BMC is committed to providing citizens with the tools, skills, and information needed to participate in our democracy. If you are informed and engaged, you can make your opinions known via the ballot box. As the nation’s largest and longest-standing grassroots voter registration organization, we work year-round to make sure all eligible Americans have the opportunity to register and vote. Why does this matter? Because every eligible voter should have a fair and equal opportunity to register to vote and to cast their ballot. Millions of Americans miss the opportunity to vote because they don’t know how to register or they miss their state’s deadline to register.
