Empowering Voters.

Defending Democracy.

What We Do

The League of Women Voters of Dane County is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization. We work to empower voters and defend democracy by learning the concerns of people across our communities, studying issues, and seeking solutions. We work with Leagues at the local, state, and national levels to advocate for our positions. We serve the community by providing issue education, voter outreach, and candidate information in their own words. We do not endorse candidates or political parties.

New members of all ages and genders are welcome to join us!
