Mission and Values
The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The League is non-partisan and does not support or oppose candidates. Leagues do support issues and legislation but only after careful member study. League members register and mobilize people to vote. The League encourages citizens to participate in complex decision making processes that result in important public policy.

The League's National Lobby Corps represents League positions on Capitol Hill, carrying the voice of League members to the corridors of Congress and the Administration. League members serve as official observers and election volunteers, and conduct civic participation training around the world.
