The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, was organized nationally in February of 1920 to improve our systems of government and to impact public policies, citizen education and advocacy. The Indiana League was formed in April of that year. Currently the LWVIN has 18 local Leagues and over 1,100 members.

The League has a unique decentralized structure; working at the national, state and local levels.

The League is strictly nonpartisan; it neither supports nor opposes candidates for office at any level of government. At the same time, the League is political when it works to influence policy through advocacy. It is the original grassroots citizens' network, directed by the consensus of its members.

Over time, the League's legislative priorities change to reflect the needs of society and critical issues of concern. The organization remains true to its basic purpose: to make democracy work for all citizens.
