OUR MISSION
EMPOWERING VOTERS. DEFENDING DEMOCRACY.

The League is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

The League of Women Voters never supports or opposes candidates for office, or political parties, and any use of the League of Women Voters name in campaign advertising or literature has not been authorized by the League.

We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.

Since its inception in 1920, League of Women Voters and its chapters have remained nonpartisan, never endorsing or opposing particular political parties or candidates. This helps messages on issues and legislation remain above partisan politics. It also promotes inclusion for greater citizen involvement and has allowed the League to develop a strong, trusted voice for its advocacy and education campaigns.

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.
