Legal & disclosures

Organizational disclosure

The League of Constitutional Voters is a Washington nonprofit corporation seeking IRS recognition as a charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Until that recognition is granted, dues and contributions are not tax-deductible as charitable contributions. When it is granted, this page will be updated the same week.

LCV makes no contributions to candidates or campaigns and no independent expenditures, and does not register as a political committee under Washington or federal law. LCV does not endorse, rate, rank, support, or oppose any candidate for any office, or any political party.

LCV is not affiliated with the League of Women Voters, the League of Conservation Voters, or any other organization with a similar name.

Privacy policy

What we collect — Name, email, mailing address, county, and membership tier for members; name and email for newsletter subscribers; event RSVPs; and payment information, which is processed by our payment provider and never stored by us.

What we do with it — Administer memberships, send you what you asked for, invite you to events in your area, and count ourselves accurately.

What we never do — We never sell, rent, or trade your information, and we never share it with candidates, parties, campaigns, or data brokers. The only third parties who touch it are the service providers that run our payments and email, under contract, solely to deliver what you asked for. There is no “trusted partner” data-sharing clause.

Cookies — We use only what’s necessary to run the site and understand aggregate traffic. No advertising trackers, no cross-site tracking, no ad networks.

Your rights — Ask us what we have about you and we’ll tell you. Ask us to delete it and we will, except for records we’re legally required to keep. [email protected]

Terms of use

Site content may be reproduced for non-commercial civic and educational purposes with attribution. Voter guides and the Empty Ballot List must be reproduced complete — every candidate in a race, or none. That condition is not negotiable, because a partial guide is a biased guide.

Nothing on this site is legal advice. Election law, filing requirements, deadlines, and reporting rules change. Verify everything with your county elections office and the Washington Secretary of State before relying on it. We work hard to keep this site accurate and we will still occasionally be wrong.

Accessibility

We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. If any part of this site is hard for you to use, tell us and we’ll fix it — that’s a real commitment, not a paragraph. [email protected]

No political arm

The League has no affiliated 501(c)(4), political action committee, or political committee, and will not create one. It makes no contributions or expenditures for or against any candidate or ballot measure and registers no political committee under chapter 42.17A RCW.

Tax status

League of Constitutional Voters Corporation is a Washington nonprofit corporation (chapter 24.03A RCW). It has applied for recognition as a 501(c)(3) public charity on Form 1023, filed [month year]. Until recognition is granted, dues and contributions are not deductible as charitable contributions. The League will publish its determination letter and its annual federal information return here when available.

Charitable solicitations

Washington’s Charitable Solicitations Act (chapter 19.09 RCW) exempts from registration an organization raising less than $50,000 in an accounting year when all of its activities, including fundraising, are carried on by unpaid volunteers (RCW 19.09.081). The League operates under that exemption and will register with the Secretary of State’s Charities Program in the first year in which it expects to exceed the threshold or to pay anyone for services.

Canonical domain

The League’s website is lcvoters.org. lcvoters.com redirects here.
