What We Do

Board members accept the Leaning into League Power award from the LWV California for our work on redistricting and defending fair representation.

See our pages on R edistricting and the Independent Redistricting Commission.

Education and Advocacy

As a nonpartisan organization, we never endorse or oppose political parties or candidates; therefore, the public can always depend on the League for nonpartisan information about voter registration, ballot measures, legislation, and elections of government officials. Also, if a League recommendation has been adopted through legislation or passage of a ballot measure, we follow up to the extent possible to ensure that the will of the voters has been honored.

The League of Women Voters of San Luis Obispo County has a long, proud history of expanding voter access, fighting voter suppression, advocating for limits of money in politics and opposing partisan and racial gerrymandering. We welcome members to join us in educating voters and advocating for government accountability.

We offer a wide variety of services to register, inform and engage voters in the democratic process. Find out more...
