League of Women Voters of Napa County

Formed 105 years ago, the national League of Women Voters (LWV) has over 700 state and local Leagues. The grassroots nonprofit believes the freedom to vote is a nonpartisan right, to be protected and encouraged. It promotes informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

Locally, LWV of Napa County makes democracy work by educating voters, providing nonpartisan election information, and advocating for important community issues, often in partnership with coalitions or other nonprofits. During election years, we hold nonpartisan/unbiased bilingual candidate forums and pro/con programs on ballot measures. We distribute Easy Voter Guides, produced by LWVC EdFund, containing voter information and state propositions in simple language.

On our website, Vote411.org, voters can find information and links to everything on their ballot and local candidates can post information about themselves, free of charge. We work with Napa County high school and college students, educating and involving our next generation of civic leaders.
