Election Day is tomorrow! If you haven’t already voted, be sure to vote tomorrow. The Massachusetts polls will be open from 7am-8pm. Information on where to vote, what’s on your ballot, and the LWV Massachusetts Voters’ Guide is available on our website.

The next two years will bring many major milestones commemorating the final push to pass and then ratify the 19th Amendment. We hope that you will join us in this compelling, and often exhilarating, journey as we commemorate and learn more about the indefatigable women – and men! – who often risked much to obtain the right to vote for women. We are excited to be working with local and national organizations to share the fascinating and inspiring story of the suffragists!
