League of Women Voters
Upper Mississippi River Region Inter League Organization
Our Interleague organization consists of local leagues in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin that are located within the Upper Mississippi River Region - a USGS defined region of the US. All the leagues have at least part of their membership living in this large watershed. At this time, the several leagues in Missouri who are also part of this watershed, are not member leagues.

Our organization is recognized by the LWV US as an official Inter League Organization, and we abide by all policies and positions of the LWVUS, and the 5 state leagues who have also joined - LWV IA, LWV IL, LWV MN, LWV MO, and LWV WI. We are a non-partisan, 501 (c)(3) organization.
The LWV UMRR bylaws were amended in June 2025. Following are those bylaws, currently in effect.
