How the Vote Was Won

The League of Women Voters (LWV) was founded in 1920 to help women carry out their responsibilities as voters as they were about to head to the polls for the very first time. Now, 100 years after the ratification of the 19th amendment, it continues to encourage informed and active participation in the government, influence public policy through education, and inspire the next generation of women leaders and voting rights activists. It also maintains the website http://vote411.org, the one-stop shop for all the election information that you need, where you can register to vote, see a sample ballot, find your polling place, and more. You can find information about and contact their Charleston branch at their website, https://my.lwv.org/south-carolina/charleston-area.
