We never support or oppose any political party or candidate

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging informed and active participation in government. It influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate. The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles:

Voter Services and Citizen Education
We present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

Action and Advocacy
We are nonpartisan, but after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.

No local league near you? You may be able to join as a state member-at-large (MAL).

Since joining through a local league greatly enhances the opportunities for participation, we strongly encourage that members join through their nearest local league rather than the state.

Note: Membership in a local league includes membership in the state and national leagues.

We currently have member-at-large units* in South Central Indiana (Jeffersonville) and North Central Indiana (Kosciusko County) and anticipate forming more (this is one way local leagues start up). But you can still join at the state level even if you are not near a MAL unit or local league.

(* MAL unit is a group of state members-at-large who live in the same geographic region but are not yet part of a formally recognized local league. Joining a MAL unit helps create the resources necessary to support the formation of a new local league and permits communication of issues of interest in the local area.)

If joining through a local league is not an option for you, consider joining as a member-at-large. (You will have the option to select state, South Central MAL unit or North Central MAL unit)

Please see considerations on the left.
