Positions of LWV of Marion & Polk Counties, Oregon

League of Women Voters^®
of Marion and Polk Counties

The League studies an issue before adopting a "position" on that issue. The League takes action (advocacy) only if it has a position on which to base advocacy.

Contents.

Local Positions are reached after research by a study committee, a written report for study by the membership of the League, discussion at small membership meetings (unit meetings), and agreement on principles by consensus of the membership.
