Our Commitment to Nonpartisanship

Nonpartisanship is fundamental to the League of Women Voters. What does that mean? It means that the LWV does not support or oppose any candidate or political party. We are committed to nonpartisanship in all aspects of our conduct and operations, in both practice and perception. That is our policy in local, state, and national Leagues. It has been our commitment for over 100 years and will always be.

All local Leagues are committed to a strong policy of nonpartisanship, too. Contact any Local League of Women Voters to learn about their nonpartisanship policy.
