The League of Women Voters, which is open to both women and men, studies political issues at the state, local, and national levels. It distributes information on political candidates and encourages voter registration, but the group does not endorse or oppose any particular political party or candidate. In particular, the organization focuses on issues of international relations, natural resources, and social policy. Its publications include handbooks and the bimonthly publication National Voter.
