Since 1920, the League of Women Voters has been the leader among organizations who care about democracy; who work to ensure that all citizens and voters have an unfettered role in making democracy work; and who, year in and year out, schedule all forms of voter service and education projects to enable a participatory and informed electorate.

• Independently or in cooperation with other citizen groups, we hold voter registration drives to promote increased participation in elections.

• We produce many varieties of publications that deal with voter service and education, such as:
  • Information about the composition of the legislature and how they can be reached and contacted;
  • Information about county and local government and where to go for help in the communities;
  • Brochures with tips about how to watch a debate to learn more about the candidates, their views and positions on issues, etc. Or tips on how to get the most out of a candidate forum.
• Independently or in cooperation with the media or other citizen groups, we sponsor and conduct debates and forums at election time.

• Throughout the State, LWV provides printed voters guides at election time with solid candidate-supplied information about their positions on various issues. In 1998, this service was significantly expanded to take advantage of the Internet capability which thousands of citizens now use to get information. We did that by producing Voters Guides Online for many counties in the State. We also participated in a nation-wide project which provided interactive messaging by candidates willing and interested in getting their views out on the Internet.

• Independently or in cooperation with other interested groups, we sponsor or serve as coordinators and facilators of non-partisan forums on controversial issues facing the State or Counties, with the objective of providing clear, complete information on both sides of issues, so that citizen and community action can act on the best possible information.

• And we are proud of our willingness to do community service projects with groups who seek unbiased, non-partisan information on issues and elections.
