Since its founding in 1920, the League of Women Voters has examined an array of public policy issues ranging from representative government and international relations to social policy and natural resources.

The League has a reputation for carefully and thoroughly studying issues – looking at all sides, accessing the best available research, consulting experts with contradictory philosophies, and considering both long-term and short-term consequences – in order to provide the public with comprehensive, fair, and easy-to-understand educational materials.
