Nonpartisanship Defined
The League of Women Voters of Central Delaware County is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, grassroots organization. We adhere to the League of Women Voters nonpartisan principle and we do NOT support or oppose any political party or candidate. The League DOES investigate and advocate on good governance and social policy issues.
Issues are Not Partisan:
The League of Women Voters (LWV) advocacy work is issue-based, and we arrive at our positions based on careful study and input from members at all levels of the LWV (national, state and local). We can agree with a politician or candidate on an issue — but we never endorse the candidate. Our organization NEVER provides funding to political candidates.
Nonpartisan doesnʼt mean that the League doesn’t have positions about policies. It means that our positions are NOT informed by party politics.
Our Nonpartisan Activities:
- Voter registration
- Voter education, including nonpartisan candidate forums
- Vote411, our nonpartisan guide to voting and candidates
- Advocacy in line with our official positions
- Litigate on our issues
- Promote diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and accessibility
- Fight against voter suppression
- Protect the ballot box by promoting free, fair, and accessible elections
Membership Explained
When you join the League of Women Voters at the local level you will become a member of the national and state levels. League members are committed to making democracy work, no matter their political affiliation and we never request information on our members’ political affiliations.
The LWV Board of Directors is elected by our members to serve two-year terms and agree to accept the nonpartisan policy of that League.
For over a hundred years the mission of the League of Women Voters is to Empower Voters and Defend Democracy.
