We Are The League of Women Voters

Our Mission The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government...

... works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Join Us in Making Democracy Work! We are community leaders, who are directly involved in shaping important issues, and doing the hands-on work to safeguard democracy!

Who We Are.... Since 1920, the League has earned a reputation as a highly respected citizens organization that researches issues from many points of view and educates the public and decision makers.

LWV is where citizens - like you - are actively engaged in affecting change on the national, state, and local level!

The League is nonpartisan. We do not support or oppose candidates.

Who We Are.... We do support or oppose issues and legislation, after careful member study and agreement.

We mobilize people to vote and to make their opinions known in the complex decisions that affect us all.
