The League is known primarily for encouraging voter participation. This includes a commitment to providing fact-based information so voters can make informed decisions. New groups organizing to become a local League may register voters, conduct candidate forums, distribute state Voters Guides, and publish local guides to elected officials. They may also host public issues forums in order to present various viewpoints on topics (e.g., recycling or health care), or ballot issues impacting their communities.

The League of Women Voters board, staff and volunteers should reflect the diversity of the organization, constituencies, and the broader community. To this end, there should be no barriers to participation in any activity on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, marital status, military or veteran status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender expression, or socioeconomic status.
