The annual meeting of the membership of the League of Women Voters of Seattle takes place each May. At this meeting, members decide on the issues that we will focus on in the next year; elect new officers and directors; approve the budget; vote on bylaw changes; and adopt new positions. A quorum of five percent of the membership is required for all votes; beyond that, we encourage members to attend so that their voices will be heard in this grassroots organization.

The annual meeting is also the occasion for awarding the Carrie Chapman Catt award to a member who has contributed significantly to the League over the years, and for honoring 50-year members.
