The League of Women Voters of Portland (LWVPDX) is a volunteer grassroots political organization that seeks to make democracy work. We empower voters and defend democracy by giving everyone the tools and information they need to vote and to advocate for what they want.
LWVPDX is part of the LWV of Oregon and the LWV of the United States. Members may participate at all three levels. The League is nonpartisan: We neither support nor oppose any candidate or political party. We welcome all people to join us.
We are committed to encouraging all citizens to be informed and engaged voters and to protecting voting rights.
Using advocacy positions developed through detailed study of issues, we advocate for or against local policies and ballot measures.
LWVPDX presents free community education programs and other resources for both our members and the public.
