Current Issues, Positions, and Topics

Picture
The League of Women Voters acts on issues after member study and consensus. We have a three-step process:

Step 1: Study the issue. 
A committee is formed to study each issue. 

Step 2: Take a position.
Upon completion of a study, the findings will be presented to the League members who will vote to decide on the position the League will take and if any actions are needed.

Step 3: Take action.
Depending on the consensus reached, the League may take action based on the position taken. Positions can come from the national, state, or local level.
