The League is a nonpartisan political organization that promotes active and informed citizen participation in government, in voting, and in influencing public policy through education and advocacy.
Want to be more informed on local elections? Each spring, prior to town elections, the LWV-MV holds candidate forums in each town where there are contested elections. The League holds these forums for the public, providing an opportunity for the public to listen to their town candidates state their positions and ask questions of these candidates. Moderated by a league member, the forum is also videotaped and made available for viewing by MVTV until the town election. Town election dates vary across the island. This website will be updated as the candidate forums are scheduled
