Making Democracy Work on Whidbey Since 1976

Who We Are and What We Do:
​LWV Whidbey serves the citizens of Whidbey

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, political organization (for both men and women) that encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government and influences public policy through education and advocacy.  We do NOT support any candidate or political party. ​We provide objective and informative Voter Forums on North, Central, and South Whidbey covering candidates and issues.  We have annual opportunities for members and guests to meet with our legislators, county commissioners, and the three mayors on the island.  We study important public policy topics, come to consensus, and act as one voice in advocating for positions at the national, state, and local level. LWV is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice.  MORE
