Making Democracy Work : Empowering Voters, Defending Democracy

The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. By providing non-partisan observations and reporting of the voting process in addition to meetings of election commissions, the League promotes public confidence in the integrity of elections and supports procedures that increase transparency in government.
