The League of Women Voters is a community based organization that has fought since 1920 to improve our government and engage all citizens in the decisions that impact our lives. The League is nonpartisan, which means we don't endorse candidates or political parties. Community volunteers operate at national, state and local levels through more than 800 state and local Leagues, in all 50 states as well in DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
Formed from the movement that secured the right to vote for women, the centerpiece of the League's activities remain to expand participation and give a voice to all Americans. We do this starting right here in our area, by engaging in educational efforts and forums on issues our community cares about. Many Leagues also provide information on elections about the candidates running for office or the issues on the ballots.
