Your Local League

This local chapter of the League of Womem Voters covers Orange, Durham and Chatham Counties in North Carolina. The LWVODC has ongoing studies and programs for citizen education advocacy based upon its positions. The local, state, and national positions are arrived at through study and then approval by the membership.

Each year the LWVODC publishes an annual Citizens Guide that provides information about elected officials, government offices and services for Orange, Durham and Chatham Counties. The League also publish a monthly newsletter, the LWVODC VOTER, which highlights its activities and programs.

Our Mission and Roles

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government. The League influences public policy through education and advocacy. We never support or oppose any political party or candidate and strictly adhere to the League's Nonpartisan Policy.
The League of Women Voters has two separate and distinct roles.

Voters Service/Citizen Education: we present unbiased nonpartisan information about elections, the voting process, and issues.

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