Hi Barbara,

Here is an excerpt from LPA's BYLAWS (15th

Revision). LPA's BYLAWS can be found on

www.lpaonline.org under the members section.

Pretty much all paid members living in the United

States over 18 can vote.

-Casey

SECTION 5 - VOTING

Young Adult, Regular, Life, Honorary Life, Auxiliary,

and Supporting shall constitute the voting members of

LPA for general business purposes.

SECTION 3 - CLASSIFICATION

There shall be eight (8) classes of members in LPA:

A. Regular members shall be properly admitted Little

People who are current in dues and age 24 or over.
