The League of Women Voters is proud to be nonpartisan, neither supporting nor opposing candidates or political parties at any level of government, but always working on vital issues of concern to members and the public.

We encourage informed and active participation in government, work to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influence public policy through education and advocacy. Follow the bils and our testimonies during the 2025 South Carolina Legislative Session. 

 

Press Mention

Nonpartisan civil rights organizations argued before the South Carolina Supreme Court today that the state constitution forbids partisan gerrymandering, or the rigging of electoral maps to protect a political party’s advantage in elections. "South Carolinians have the right not just to vote, but to cast a vote that genuinely reflects the interests of their community," said Nancy Williams, President of the League of Women Voters of South Carolina.

The House and Senate introduced the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require citizenship documentation to register to vote even though voters in every state are already required to affirm or verify their citizenship status when registering.

The SAVE Act would create one more barrier to the voting process, as many eligible voters do not have easy access to the necessary documents.

Tell your members of Congress to oppose the SAVE Act
