Date: 
Fri 1 Jan 2010

Everyone is welcome to have a user account on this site. All LWV Members in Maryland are encouraged to create and maintain their account.

Why have an Account?

User Accounts allow people to

- manage their subscriptions to newsletter and mailing lists

- avoid having to fill in Spam blocker forms

- receive information tailored for your area (County, State Legislative District, US Congressional District).

 

How do I get to my account?

When you log in, you are automatically taken to your account page. After you are logged in, you may also access it at any time by clicking on My Account in the main menu (the dark blue band just above the main display area).
