What the League does...

We work to help keep citizens engaged in the democratic process through voter education, studying issues, defining League positions related to them, and working to pass effective legislation to address them. The League also participates in voter registration drives, candidate forums, and various community programs.

We believe informed voting is key to allowing our government to function as a representation of its citizens; each citizen should have their voice be heard through exercising their right to vote.

Every citizen deserves to have their voice heard and to have fair representation in government.
