Where we stand: LWVPR positions

 The LWVPR takes action at the local level based on LWVUS, LWVIL and LWVCC positions, as well as our own local positions. 

 League positions are determined by League studies. The League, at the National, State, or Local level, commits to studying an issue such as the electoral college (national), or Illinois charter schools (state) or home rule (local).

Under the guidelines provided by the League, we create a group that:

• studies  the issue from all angles
• arrives at a consensus on the questions asked in the study
• writes a statement on our position

Then, the position is voted upon by the membership.  If accepted, it becomes part of our program and is something that we can advocate for as a League.

Our growing League has positions coming soon!

Our local league takes action based on our local positions as well as positions of additional Leagues that we belong to: 

Cook County

LWV of Illinois

LWV of the Lake Michigan Region

LWV of the United States
