The League of Women Voters of Connecticut strives every day to empower voters and defend democracy. We are proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties, and always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public. Our 2022 Legislative Priorities include Protecting and Expanding Voters’ Rights and Access through Early Voting and No-Excuse Absentee Ballots, Campaign Finance Reform and protecting the Citizen's Election Program, Open Government, and Environment & Climate Action.

Redistricting in Connecticut is now two thirds of the way complete. The Reapportionment Commission, convened in accordance with the state Constitution, met prior to the November 30 deadline to accept the state House and Senate maps. The U.S. Congressional maps were not completed and are now expected to be completed under the aegis of the Connecticut Supreme Court. Read the full update.

Words matter. Our organization’s original non-partisan stance was a way to ensure that all women would feel included and inclined to vote. Since then, it has been a hallmark of our work and the cornerstone of our reputation. But a combination of factors has led to a hyper-partisan political climate where the focus is more on “winning” than informing voters on the issues. While these factors make our job more difficult, it is imperative that we stay above the fray of partisan politics.
