League of Women Voters Positions


Although non-partisan, the League of Women Voters has taken public policy positions over the years. The League takes a position only after a thorough study and after a consensus of the members is reached. Once a position is adopted, the League may advocate for or against policies and legislation that are consistent with its stand.
