The League of Women Voters of the Wilkes-Barre Area is a nonpartisan organization that has been educating citizens of the Wilkes-Barre area since its founding in 1920. As an outgrowth of the suffragist movement, the League aims to provide information to voters so they can make informed decisions on election day. Through sponsored debates, the Voters Guide, and the Government Directory, the League continues its legacy of promoting education on voting and the democratic process.
With a commitment to nonpartisanship, the League works within existing political organizations to achieve its goals. Recognized for its fair and unbiased presentations, the League is respected in the community for its voter education efforts. While the organization itself remains nonpartisan, its members are encouraged to be politically active as individuals, as long as they do not act in the name of the League. The League's objectives include fostering political knowledge, promoting informed citizens, and contributing to a healthy democratic system.
