Because it had built its state organization so fast, Minnesota was hailed as the "Banner State" at the 1921 National Convention.

Citizenship was the League's first concern, and it conducted schools nationwide to inform the public about voting and the principles and structure of government.

In October 1920 the Fifth District (Minneapolis) League distributed 226,655 pieces of literature prepared in its own office, gave 99 talks, presented a play about voting before 60 organizations, maintained information booths in all the big stores for two weeks before the election, and recruited and trained more than 200 women to act as elect ion judges.

In 1922 LWVMN published State Election Laws Clearly Stated for the First Time. Despite the title, the Secretary of State approved it and it was widely used.

The League made its first radio broadcast in 1924 and began a series of programs in 1927. In 1926 it broadcast a meeting over WCCO featuring the four candidates for Governor.

Nationally, the League urged participation in disarmament conferences, the development of international law, and worked hard for U.S. membership in the World Court.

Locally, the League surveyed city government and found it wanting. Thus began the long and arduous campaign for a new City Charter. The City Hall Observers program also began.

Some talented Minnesota women devoted their lives to the LWV. Clara Ueland, a prime mover in the suffrage movement, became the first State President. She resigned to head the Legislative Council, and spent the last day of her life at the Legislature on League business. Mabeth Paige resigned from the National Board to become the first woman to serve in the Legislature from 1923 to 1945. Marguerite Wells was State President from 1934 to 1944.
