The League of Women Voters lobbies on an issue or advocates for a cause 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.

The League of Women Voters of Ohio and local leagues in Ohio currently have the following priorities:
Voting and Elections
The League protects and empowers millions of voters every year to ensure that our elections are fair, accessible, and representative of all Americans.* To do so we assist the electorate in voter registration and participation in elections, recruit poll workers, and
provide ballot information.
Education
A basic principle of the League of Women Voters is that every person deserves access to a high-quality public education. It is as fundamental to citizenship as is the right to vote. Public education is not a consumer item, but a resource for the common good
that serves a civic purpose - effective self-governance.
Government
The League of Women Voters supports transparency and accountability, responsiveness, equity and inclusiveness in local, state, and federal government. This includes education on sunshine laws, observer corps attendance at public government meetings, and advocacy in legislation.
In addition, the League of Women Voters of Hudson (LWVH) has an on-going commitment to education on climate change and sustainability: Through public presentations and citizen participation events, the LWVH educates and promotes awareness of climate and sustainability issues from the local to the global perspective.
