Welcome!

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Members include both women and men.

• We register voters and defend voting rights.
• We monitor government activities.
• We educate citizens about their rights and responsibilities.
• We sponsor candidate forums as well as public issue forums.
• We study issues in order to arrive at member consensus.
• We take action by lobbying, testifying, and educating legislators on issues we care about.
• We take action on issues as a nonpartisan body.
• We do not support or oppose candidates or parties.

As a local league, we are not participating actively in the League studies involving campaign finance and money in politics, but all members are welcome to get involved through the state or national league, and to join other local leagues that are holding open meetings on these issues. Go here for a master calendar of consensus meetings that other local leagues are holding.

As always, thank you for your membership and your support.

The members of the Melrose League of Women Voters would like to thank our local sponsors. To see our list of sponsors please click the tab above.
