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.

Read about the Nonpartisan Policy of the LWV of Alabama.

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.

The League of Women Voters of Alabama is one of the founding members of the AVRC. Save the date, Tuesday April 1, 2025 for the Alabama Voting Rights Coalition 2025 Lobby Day. This important event will be 10:30 am to 2:30 pm in Montgomery on the 1st of April.
