About League of Women Voters Washtenaw County

From the publisher's feed

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan, voter education organization encouraging informed, active participation in government. We believe that voting is a fundamental citizen right that must be guaranteed. While the League does not support candidates or parties, we do take positions on issues we have studied. Our programs will not necessarily represent these positions but provide forums to increase understanding of public policy issues.
