Welcome to the League of Women Voters of Sharon and Stoughton!

  • The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy.

  • We empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation at the local, state, and national levels.

  • We are a membership organization open to all people who subscribe to its purpose and policies.

  • Women in the Name is a legacy that pays tribute to the veterans of the women's suffrage movement who were our founders over 100 years ago and to the many females who inspire us all to make democracy work.
