The League of Women Voters of Clermont County is a non-partisan political organization, that encourages the informed and active participation  of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League is a grassroots organization with national, state and local divisions which parallel the levels.

History:
In February 1920, just six months before the U.S. Constitution was amended to give women the right to vote, the National American Woman Suffrage Association's president, Carrie Chapman Catt, proposed the creation of the League of Women Voters. The League's first purpose was to teach women how to exercise their new political rights and responsibilities.

After passage of the 19th Amendment, the League began as a collection of former suffrage organizations at the state and local levels. The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area is one of the oldest Leagues in the country. The Woman Suffrage Committee of Greater Cincinnati met on September 21, 1920 and approved the motion "that the sense of this meeting be that we organize a League of Women Voters for Cincinnati and Hamilton County." On Friday, October 1, 1920 the first meeting of the executive committee of the League of Women Voters of Cincinnati was held.
