Home - League of Women Voters of Southwestern Indiana

The League's National Day of Action to Mobilize for Voting Rights was a big success in Evansville on August 7th and 8th! The two-day effort started off with a press conference on August 7th to commemorate the 61st anniversary of the passage of the historic 1965 Voting Rights Act.

On Saturday, August 8th, we launched the first of three postcard writing campaigns to write personalized, non-partisan postcards to newly registered voters, first-time voters, low-propensity voters, and new Americans. We will be partnering again with the NAACP Evansville branch for the next two postcard parties. Please join us!

Sat., September 19th – First Presbyterian Church, 609 SE 2nd St., Evansville
Sat., October 17th – Nazarene Missionary Baptist Church, 867 E. Walnut St., Evansville

We will also be doing digital advertising on social media platforms to urge younger voters to vote in the fall 2026 general election.

We wish to thank the following organizations for being co-sponsors of the August 7-8 events: NAACP Evansville Branch 3048-B, Evansville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. BRIDGE (Building Respect & Integrity in Greater Evansville), and Indivisible Evansville.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA: WHAT WE DO

MEET YOUR LEGISLATORS: We are one of the sponsors of this series of events that takes place at EVPL Central Library on the second Saturday of each month during each legislative session. State legislators with territory in Vanderburgh County are invited. The public comes to hear from their legislators and to ask questions about legislation.

LUNCH AND LEARN: We bring in speakers to talk about topics of interest to our members.

TOWN HALLS: We organize town halls that focus on important issues that impact our lives. These events feature elected officials, academic experts, and prominent local community leaders and provide an opportunity for spirited community dialogue.

CANDIDATE FORUMS: We host forums for various Evansville/Vanderburgh County offices.

VOTER READINESS: We do voter registration and education activities at various sites around the community.

VOTE411: VOTE411.org is a "one-stop-shop" for election related information. It provides nonpartisan information to the public with both general and state-specific information on various aspects of the election process. During each primary and general election season we survey Vanderburgh and Warrick County candidates about their attitudes on important issues and make the information available via the VOTE411 website.

ENVIRONMENT: We monitor local and statewide environmental issues, share information with our members and friends, and take action.

GUN SAFETY: Educating parents and children about how to protect themselves around guns.

REDISTRICTING: We follow and oppose mid-decade redistricting efforts.

MAKING DEMOCRACY WORK AWARD: Each year at our annual meeting, we recognize a member of our community who has consistently demonstrated their commitment to the institutions and norms of democratic government -- regardless whether they agree with specific League policies. Differences in opinion strengthen democracy -- not weaken it. What matters is that elected leaders understand that they are accountable to the public.
