The League of Women Voters of Los Alamos also advocates at the local level using the positions of the League of Women Voters of New Mexico and those of the League of Women Voters of the United States.

What is a Position?

The League of Women Voters takes action on an issue only when we have a position addressing that particular issue. Members must study and come to consensus on an issue, in order to form a position. This thorough grassroots process ensures that our advocacy is well considered by a broad range of people, understood by our members, and we have a sense of the political environment.
