Empowering Voters and Defending Democracy
Serving local citizens since 1957
In Murfreesboro and Rutherford County, the League of Women Voters has been helping citizens engage in local, state of Tennessee, and national government since 1957.
The League encourages informed and active participation in government. We study and take positions on issues, but we never support or oppose any candidate, party or political appointee. We have a strong commitment to voter education, action and advocacy for public policy.
To the wrongs that need resistance,
To the right that needs assistance,
To the future in the distance,
Give yourselves.
—Carrie Chapman Catt, founder, League of Women Voters

Here are the results from the October 26, 2025 Love Your Neighbor KIDS VOTE:
Kitty - 46

Bunny - 17

Coyote - 1
Mole- 1
We're excited to reveal the results of the youth election that took place on October 26, 2025 at the Love Your Neighbor event: Kitty is the winner!
With three charming contenders on the ballot—Kitty, Puppy, and Bunny—100 young participants got a firsthand look at how democracy works. Born from a young student's vision, this project allowed kids to engage with authentic voting procedures, from reviewing each candidate's positions to casting their official votes.
Thank you to all participating families for being part of this fun educational opportunity. You're helping shape future generations of knowledgeable, involved community members.
