About LWV of Davis County
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit dedicated to empowering everyone to fully participate in American democracy. We engage in advocacy, education, litigation, and organizing to protect every American’s freedom to vote. The league is proud to be women-led and over 100 years old, emerging directly out of the women’s suffrage movement in 1920.
In Davis County, we hold a Meet & Greet session on the third Wednesday of each month to hear from experts on topics that are crucial to our county. It also gives us the opportunity to share our views and get to know each other better. Please check our calendar for details about the monthly meetings.
These are the principles that guide us:
Nonpartisanship
The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or any candidate. As an organization dedicated to both voter education and advocacy, the League takes strong stances on policy issues relating to voting rights, civil rights, and other issues of importance to members and the public.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
LWV is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to the organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities, and policymakers in creating a more perfect democracy.
Federated Model
LWV operates at three levels: local, state, and national.
The federated structure of LWV comprises a national league and affiliated state and local leagues that are separately incorporated. Those who join the league become members of their local league, their state league and the national league.
