Delegate information


All members and supporters of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey are invited to the Convention. However, only delegates will be permitted to vote on League business. Please contact your local League president about serving as a voting delegate for your League. If your local League delegation is full, or you are a League member that is not part of a local League but wish to serve as a voting delegate, please contact Elissa Kapp at ekapp@lwvnj.org.

Local League presidents have received information regarding delegate counts.

Standard Registration: $150 by May 19, 2023

Luncheon Ticket Only: $45 to attend only the lunch program (11:45 am - 2 pm)

Registration fees are the same for delegates and non-voting guests.

The League of Women Voters of New Jersey understands that these fees might be a barrier for some Leagues and delegates. We want every League to be represented with at least one delegate. If cost is  a barrier making it difficult to have your League represented at the Convention, please send a request for an application for assistance to ekapp@lwvnj.org. We will consider requests, but cannot guarantee that we can grant all requests received.
