COVINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The League of Women Voters of Northern Kentucky has formed and is looking for new members, officials said.
The Northern Kentucky league was finalizing its organization this week and will be led by Becky Smith Jones of Fort Wright and Jane Page-Steiner of Covington, a statement from the organization said.
The non-partisan group grew out of the suffrage movement and the ratification of the 19th Amendment that gave women the right to vote in 1920. Its mission is to promote participation in elections through informed and active engagement and goals include registering and educating voters.

An immediate goal for the Northern Kentucky league is to provide voters in the region with information about candidates in the November general election, the statement said.
It will be the sixth league formed in Kentucky. Others are located in Bell County, Hopkinsville, Lexington, Louisville and Murray.
