LWVNV has advocated for the right of all Nevadans to vote without hardship or suppression in exercising their constitutional right. 

 

Our guiding document on public policy positions can be found in Impact on Issues, an overview of the League of Women Voters of the US advocacy and legislative work from the 1960s and onward. We focus our state advocacy on the right to vote, which can be found on pages 23–32.

 

Advocacy encompasses pleading for or against causes, as well as supporting or recommending positions. Lobbying is defined as an attempt to influence specific legislation, including both legislation that has already been introduced in a legislative body and specific legislative proposals that the League may oppose or support. It is a specific advocacy technique. While lobbying can be part of an advocacy strategy, advocacy does not necessarily include lobbying. For complete details, go to Defining Advocacy vs. Lobbying on the LWVUS website.

​

At LWVNV, we are working toward establishing participation in both advocacy and lobbying on behalf of the Nevadans we represent.
