LEAGUE POSITIONS

The League of Women Voters pursues the dual purposes of voter education and advocacy - engaging in research studies and adopting positions on representative government, international relations, natural resources, and social policy.

In the League, a “position” is a statement of the League’s point of view on an issue, arrived at through member study and agreement (consensus or concurrence), approved by the appropriate board and used as a basis for League action.

Each state, regional, and local League board decides if, based on member understanding, and agreement, advocacy and taking action make sense in terms of timing, need, and effectiveness
