2025-26 Legislative Advocacy
The LWVSC Board od Directors determines statewide legislative priorities grounded in the good governance issues that are at the heart of the League of Women Voters.
The League remains focused intensively on its Making Democracy Work (MDW) campaign: voting and elections, redistricting, and opposition to constitutional convention resolutions. The League, as always, will attempt to advocate on all bills falling within our areas of interest as defined in state and national policies. Follow our latest Making Democracy Work (MDW) Network Updates to organizations that share our interests.

LWVSC Bills of Interest
Education Scholarship Accounts
The over-arching concern is that the General Assembly is constitutionally charged with the “maintenance and support of a system of free public schools open to all children in the State.” Any mechanism that directs public money to private and religious schools instead of strengthening options within our system of public schools is unlikely to meet with approval from the majority of voters.
Instructional Materials Review/Book Removals
The League of Women Voters commends the Instructional Materials Review Committee and urges their continued extreme caution in making decisions about removing books from schools, thereby limiting access to information. The number of high school pregnancies was cited.
