League of Women Voters of Maine Education Fund

The League of Women Voters of Maine Education Fund conducts voter service and citizen education activities. It is a nonpartisan nonprofit public policy educational organization, which builds citizen participation in the democratic process; studies key community issues at all government levels in an unbiased manner; and enables people to seek positive solutions to public policy issues through education and conflict management. During this reporting period, the LWVME Education Fund's highlights include conducting door to door canvassing to inform and register voters in low propensity voting neighborhoods, providing non-partisan voter and election information, including information for new voters in ten languages, hosting public information webinars on a range of civic topics, and providing strategic leadership to a coalition of organizations supporting accessible elections and sound election administration. The cornerstone of our work was our nonpartisan Election Observation program: volunteers and staff deployed in all 16 Maine counties conducted a total of 140 detailed polling place observations on November 8 2022. And the League's voter hotline provided real-time help to voters around the state from September through Election Day.
