Happy 250th to the United States of America! 🇺🇸 To honor and guide our country, ensure to use your freedom and liberty to vote! [For MN: Early voting in the primary started June 26-Aug. 10; Primary Election Day is Aug. 11] May you and yours have a wonderful and safe Fourth of July celebration. 🎆

We don’t have party registration in Minnesota. For contested partisan offices - statewide offices, Congress and legislators - your primary ballot will have Democrats in one column, and Republicans in another. Simply choose one column. Your ballot will be rejected if you try to vote in both columns.

According to a recent poll conducted by LWVMN and StratSimple, the number one reason eligible voters in Minnesota don’t cast a ballot is because they don’t know the candidates. VOTE411 is one way to break down that barrier and ensure voters have the information they need. VOTE411.org

Happy anniversary to the 26th Amendment 🗳️🥳

A WIN for Voting RIghts!

📣Primary voting is underway (June 26-Aug. 10). If you're in Washington Co., MN, your ballot includes the Sheriff's race on the nonpartisan part of your ballot.

Be a part of the 20% of Minnesotans who typically participate in Minnesota's primary elections. Starting June 26, check out www.vote411.org/lwvmn for information about your local Minnesota candidates. Make a plan. Vote early so daily life does not get in the way. #WomenPowerDemocracy #Midterms

Flags are symbols of national patriotism and unity. DYK: in 1943 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 1st Amendment protects individuals from being compelled by the government to salute the U.S. flag? We also revere freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Learn more: www.loc.gov/item/today-i...

On this Flag Day, we hold that patriotism includes defending the rule of law. States administer elections. No president has the authority to unilaterally rewrite election rules or dictate how they’re run. We have taken our position to court. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwv.org @lwvva.bsky.social

👇Minnesota primaries are August 11. The League of Women Voters Minnesota will have information for your ballot on www.vote411.org when early voting for Minnesota primaries starts on June 26. Make a plan to vote! #Minnesota #Primaries #Elections

Grassroots Activism: Ways to Take Action 🪧 We need a lot of people engaging in persistent small acts to defend democracy. And there isn’t a “one-size fits all” approach to taking action. We need MANY different people, taking many different types of action!

There is no evidence that non-citizen voting is anything but a vanishingly rare occurrence, and documentary proof-of-citizenship bills do nothing to change who is eligible to vote. www.lwv.org/blog/state-l...

Take a look back at five of the most consequential legislative battles of 2025, as well as their implications for our country and the League’s 2026 advocacy work. www.lwv.org/blog/five-ma...

The League has joined the Brennan Center, other voting rights groups & state Leagues challenging executive orders aimed at rewriting federal election rules. Why? "The Constitution is clear: election administration is the responsibility of the states, not the executive branch.” @lwvus.bsky.social

ACTION ALERT! The U.S. Senate is expected to resume debate on the SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act next week. Take time now to contact our U.S. Senators to let them know what you think about the SAVE Act. Learn more & contact info here: lwvnebraska.org/let-senators...

Absentee voting (or vote by mail) in MN is built with multiple layers of security to protect voters and ensure every ballot is counted accurately. And, it is a federal offense for USPS workers to toss out/tamper with mail-in ballots (or any mail!) punishable by 5 years in prison & a $250k fine.

We're suing to stop Trump's illegal attack on Voting Rights. Help us win--again. @lwvus.bsky.social

The March 31 EO transforms the US Postal Service to an arbiter of who may cast a mail ballot and requires the Homeland Security to give to each state a list of citizens eligible to vote - a list built from notoriously out-of-date and unreliable federal databases www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

The League issued a statement in response to President Trump's executive order, "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections." We encourage everyone who cherishes democracy to read it. . www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

💡Did you know? Minnesota's voter registration system is safe, secure, and accurate because it's maintained through a continuous and rigorous data-matching process involving all 87 counties, the state and federal levels. We are proud to be a national gold standard. www.sos.mn.gov/.../election...

On Trans Visibility Day, we celebrate and uplift the trans community. We also recognize the discrimination and voting barriers many face—including ID challenges, intimidation, and unequal access. We remain committed because everyone deserves to be seen and have their voices heard, safely and openly.

📣While we remain nonpartisan, we speak up when democracy is being threatened as it has been from the federal government’s abuse of power and unconstitutional behavior in our beloved state. We will see you at the March(es) and Rally on March 28th! Rain (snow) or shine. www.nokingstwincities.org

Marches begin at noon from St Paul College, Harriet Island and Western Sculpture Park. Rally at 2:00 pm at State Capitol featuring Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Jane Fonda and Bernie Sanders. Rally will be live streamed on YouTube if you can’t attend

Rally in Anoka along both sides of Main Street, from 3rd Ave to 5th Ave 10:00 to 11:00 am. Register at www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The SAVE Act is likely doomed in the Senate, but we haven’t been defending democracy for more than 106 years to be lulled into inaction. Now is not the time to stop fighting the misleading claims & distorted facts until the SAVE Act is dead. lwv.org/save-act @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Make no mistake, the SAVE Act is a coordinated effort to make voting harder for eligible Americans. Thank you, Sen. Cantwell for uplifting the League and for your leadership in opposing the SAVE Act, a voter suppression bill.

👇

Last week, LWV and co-plaintiffs [including VA & LA Leagues] moved for summary judgment against DHS. Plaintiffs argue DHS has usurped constitutional powers and unlawfully transformed the SAVE Act into a national citizenship data bank. Be informed: www.lwv.org/legal-center... @lwvus.bsky.social

On this Pi Day, let's remember that democracy works best when everyone can participate. The suite of "Save Act" bills will make it harder for U.S. Americans to get their slice of pie. Read more here: www.lwv.org/save-act. Tell your Senators to vote "No". #SaveAct #VotingRights #Democracy #PiDay
