Background on Positions

What is a Position?

New? Start here ▶️


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 our advocacy is well considered by a broad range of people, understood by our members, and we can present principled factual information to the public.

We educate voters about registering to vote, researching candidates and issues, the process of voting, what elected officials do, and how to engage with local leadership.
  • Advocacy & Education: We advocate on behalf of League positions locally, observe local governmental activities, prepare programs and events to educate and engage members and the general public, and conduct position studies on issues of local importance to the public.
  • Development: We program fundraising activities and engage in donor development which includes the League's annual 'Democracy in Action' fundraiser.
  • Membership: We grow our membership to ensure we can support our mission of empowering voters and defending democracy.
  • League Administration: We support League administration through communications, technology, and other leadership opportunities.
