The League's Mission
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging the informed and active participation of citizens in government. The League influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or any candidate.
Our mission slogan is Empowering Voters and Defending Democracy.
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.
- Voter service and citizen education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues of public policy. This includes publicizing and organizing candidate forums. See our Candidate Forums page.
- Action and advocacy: we are always nonpartisan in our advocacy work. After study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.
Our Work
In New Hampshire we advocate for voting rights and other issues in the Legislature.
We also do Get Out The Vote work in the months leading up to elections, including organizing candidate forums.
Membership dues and donations fund our work.
We have no paid staff or lobbyists in New Hampshire—we are all volunteers committed to the League’s mission.
