THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Due to a personal issue, Rep. Tom Jones, is no longer able to attend the candidate forum scheduled for October 8, 2026 at Centerville Middle School. As a nonpartisan organization, The League of Women Voters of Lancaster County is not able to host a forum with only one party represented. We are deeply disappointed that we are not able to provide the voters of the PA 36th Senate District with the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates running to represent them. We are working on alternative options and will announce them as information is available.

Please join us for our 2026 Kenderdine Lecture Book Club. Featured speaker Christina Wolbrecth's book, See Jane Run will discussed.

2026 Kenderdine Lecture featured book, See Jane Run, explores how women in politics help convince young people, regardless of gender, that women are capable of political leadership. For young women, women role models enhance faith in democracy and inspire political engagement, including running for office themselves.

In an effort to demonstrate that we can move beyond the division and we can work to find common ground, the League of Women Voters of Lancaster County, in partnership with Matt Johnson, is hosting a mock constitutional convention.

The mock convention is both a celebration of our nation’s 250th and part of the League of Women Voters’ National Day of Action being held across the country to honor the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

We have ordered 1,000 Vote411 bookmarks to distribute to Lancaster County libraries ahead of the November election.  We need to hand write important election dates on them.  Please join us at the WCC in August from 5:30-6:30 to help us with this effort.  Many hands make light work!  

Join us for community, lively discussion and snacks!

Join us at West Art for a special screening of An American Pastoral — an award-winning documentary about the intense 2023 school board election in Elizabethtown, PA. We're happy to partner with the League of Women Voters of Lancaster County to bring you this important and timely film, which shows how a school board race became a microcosm of America's national culture war. It serves as an excellent conversation starter for the future of public education & and the ways that we navigate our differences amidst deep community divides in small-town America. 

After the screening, stay for a panel discussion hosted by Matt Johnson, featuring several of the individuals who appear in the film. They’ll share behind-the-scenes stories, reflections on the filmmaking process, and add to the deeper conversations the documentary has sparked in our community. It's special to have a local story represented on the big screen, and we hope that you'll join us!  Get your tickets HERE!
