The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, multi-issue, grassroots organization with chapters at the local, county, state, and national levels. We encourage informed, active participation in government and local communities.

The League of Women Voters is unique in its strict non-partisanship.  While we may lobby in support or in opposition of issues or legislation, we never support nor endorse candidates or political parties.
