The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose candidates for office or political parties.  But, based on study and member consensus, the League DOES take positions on a variety of issues.  Based on these positions, the League works to educate the public and advocate for important issues.

At the June 2026 LWV National Convention, two new positions were approved on immigrant rights and religious freedom.
 
Six resolutions reaffirming the League's commitment to urgent matters of public policy were adopted:
  • The value of a non-partisan civil service to democracy
  • Statehood for the District of Columbia
  • A constitutional crisis that requires holding Congress accountable for protecting the rule of law, defending the Constitution, and ending executive overreach
  • Establishing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact as an interim measure for eliminating the Electoral College
  • Oversight, transparency, and accountability to protect individual privacy and constitutional rights from surveillance technologies
  • Human trafficking as a violation of human dignity
