ABOUT THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS

The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The League of Women Voters of McLean County is affiliated with the League of Women Voters of Illinois and the League of Women Voters of the United States.  The national League was founded in Chicago in February 1920 at the Victory Convention of the National American Women Suffrage Association.  Florence Fifer Bohrer established the McLean County League in 1933.

The League as an organization is nonpartisan.  It takes action in support of or in opposition to selected governmental issues.  It does not support or oppose political parties or candidates.  Members are encourged to concern themselves with public issues and are urged to work as individuals in the party of their choice.
