The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League is open to any person who subscribes to the purpose and policy of the League. The structure of the League parallels the representative system of government under which we live. The several League levels are also interdependent. Members determine the policies and program of all league levels.
Membership is simultaneous on all three levels where applicable.
The League acts in support of, or in opposition to, selected governmental issues that its members have studied. It does not support or oppose candidates, factions or political parties. League members, as individuals, are urged to work in the political party of their choice. In order to protect the League's nonpartisanship policy, guidelines regarding the political activities of the Board of Directors are reviewed frequently.
