Our Mission and Roles
The League of Women Voters of Ames, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

-As an organization the League does not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office. However, the League does take positions on selected issues that members have studied and agreed upon.

-The League of Women Voters of Ames  is an integral part of both the League of Women Voters of Iowa www.lwvia.org and the League of Women Voters of the United States www.lwv.org .

League meetings, which are noted in the local media, are open to the public.  For more information about the League of Women Voters, contact the President of the LWV of Ames at  [email protected]

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 also nonpartisan, but, after study, we use our positions to advocate for or against particular policies in the public interest.
