Our History
The St. Cloud League was formed in 1920 immediately following the ratification of the 19th amendment giving women the right to vote. We and the Minneapolis League were the first two Leagues in Minnesota to be established.

Our Role
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.

Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

Action/Advocacy: we are also non-partisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

To conduct our voter service and citizen education activities, we use funds from the League of Women Voters of Minnesota Education Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) corporation, a nonprofit educational organization. The League of Women Voters, a membership organization, conducts action and advocacy and is a nonprofit 501(c)(4) corporaton.
