Mission & General Objectives

Our Mission

The mission of the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, is to encourage the informed and active participation of citizens in government and to influence public policy through education and advocacy.

General Objectives

  1. To establish positions on public policy through member participation and agreement.
  2. To take concerted actions that secure policies consistent with League positions.
  3. To enhance citizen participation in federal, state and local government decisions.
  4. To increase citizen participation in the election process.

The League will take positions on issues, but never on candidates. Any such position on an issue is the result of membership consensus based on study and discussion of facts.
