About Us
Welcome to League of Women Voters of Kittitas County. We believe democracy is stronger when voters are educated and involved. Established in 1920 after winning the right to vote for women, the League is one of the nation’s most respected community-based organizations.
The League is a nonpartisan political organization: nonpartisan in that it never supports or opposes any candidate or political party; political in that it does act on those governmental issues selected by its members and on which a position has been reached through member study and agreement.
VISION STATEMENT – We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.
League of Women Voters of Kittitas County has been in existence since 1968. This is your information site for Kittitas County candidates, issues, and ballots
We research. We educate. We advocate for change.
