League of Women Voters
The
League of Women Voters is a
United States non-partisan political
organization founded in
1920 by Carrie Chapman Catt during a meeting of the
National American Woman Suffrage Association. It began as a "mighty political experiment" aimed to help newly enfranchised women exercise their responsibilities as voters. Though non-partisan, the League does take political positions. Recently, it supports
campaign finance reform and
electoral reform. The league puts out voters guides that compare candidates' positions on issues. The league also staffs precincts on election day helping to administer elections.
