Renewing Your Membership

Beth Porter | Published on 8/16/2026

League membership now operates on a rolling annual basis. This means that every member has an individual expiration date based on when they joined or last renewed. There is no longer one shared renewal period for all members.

When you renew before your membership expires, your current expiration date is extended by one full year. For example, if your membership expires January 25 and you renew early in December, your new expiration date will be January 25 of the following year. If you renew after your membership has expired, your new expiration date will generally be one year from the date of that late renewal.

Watch for Your Renewal Email

Members who have not selected automatic renewal will receive reminder emails beginning approximately 60 days before their expiration date. Additional reminders are sent as the expiration date approaches.

Renewal messages are sent to the email address listed in your LWV Member Portal profile and will come from membership@lwv.org. Please check your spam or junk folder if you do not see the message.

Renew Through the Local League Website

To begin the renewal process:

  1. Visit lwvmclean.org.
  2. Select Get Involved from the menu.
  3. Choose Renew.
  4. Click the Renew button.
  5. Enter the email address already associated with your League membership.
  6. Follow the directions to complete your renewal through the LWV Member Portal.

You do not need to be logged into the local website to visit the public renewal page.

Access the LWV Member Portal

The national LWVUS Member Portal is where members can:

  • Review their membership status and expiration date
  • Update contact information
  • Renew their membership
  • Select or manage automatic renewal

To use the Portal, visit portal.lwv.org and enter the email address associated with your membership. A verification code will be sent to that email address so you can log in. Members may also establish a password through their portal profile.

Please Do Not Create a Second Account

Your email address identifies your membership in the national system. If the system does not recognize your email address, do not use another email address or create a second account, as this will result in duplicate membership records.

Instead, contact the local Membership Team at membership@lwvmclean.org  We can confirm which email address is connected to your membership and help you access your account.

Automatic Annual Renewal

During the renewal process, members may choose automatic annual renewal. Members enrolled in automatic renewal will receive an email approximately 30 days before the scheduled payment. Unless the member changes or cancels it, the same dues amount will be charged using the saved payment method on the anniversary of the previous transaction. Automatic renewal settings—including the dues amount—can be reviewed or changed in the Member Portal under Profile → Auto Renewals.
