How Do League Members Accomplish These Goals?

• Register millions to vote.

• Monitor government activities from town councils and school boards to the county legislature, the state legislatures and the U.S. Congress.

• Teach citizens about their rights and responsibilities, sponsor candidate debates and public issues forums, inform through our distribution of nonpartisan election information.
  

• After study and consensus on selected subjects, take action by lobbying, letter writing, holding forums and public meetings, litigating and working with coalitions.

What Are Some of the League's Issues?

• The League is currently engaged in an effort to do something about the distrust and hostility that dominate public debate in America by advocating for changes in the political process, including:

  Campaign finance reform.

  Getting voters to the polls, because the system won't change unless we all hold government accountable
  and vote.

  Educating citizens by giving them the knowledge and the tools they need to make a difference through our publications and meetings on a broad range of topics.

Among LWVNC's recent accomplishments was the long and hard-fought victory to dissolve the Nassau County Board of Supervisors and establish a more representative Nassau County Legislature. League was also instrumental in the passage of the Motor Voter Act.
