LWV is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation in government.

The League influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Membership is open to anyone supporting the League's mission and advocacy.

League advocacy (lobbying) is based on positions reached by the membership after careful study and discussion.

Educational and Voter Service activities are funded through the League's Education Fund. Contributions to the Education Fund are tax deductible.

Advocacy positions held by the League are reached after member study and discussion. National positions were studied by all members; state positions were studied by members within the state.
