The League of Women Voters lobbies on an issue or advocates for a cause only after a rigorous process of study, discussion and reaching consensus. Studies are done by League members and can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. After approval by the chapter or state board, the study results in a written Position. Only then can the League advocate or lobby on this issue. For an explanation of the steps for how Positions are selected, go

Elections and Voting
LWV US supports:
HR 14, S4 John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would modernize and revitalize the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Supreme Court has hampered the law through cases in 2013 and 2021. This Act would strengthen the law and give equal access to voting for all. For more information, see HR 14/S4. For action you can take, go HERE.
