The League of Women Voters of the United States encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. We envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate. We believe in the power of women to create a more perfect democracy.

We are the independent body which oversees elections and regulates political finance in the UK. We work to promote public confidence in the democratic process and ensure its integrity. We enable the delivery of free and fair elections and referendums. This includes focussing on the needs of voters and addressing the changing environment to ensure every vote remains secure and accessible. We regulate political finance – taking proactive steps to increase transparency, ensure compliance and pursue breaches. We use our expertise to make and advocate for changes to our democracy, aiming to improve fairness, transparency and efficiency. We have UK wide responsibilities and are accountable to the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd. Our work is directed to meeting the needs of each of the four parts of the UK.

Civic Nation is a home for changemakers who inspire, educate, and activate people around the issues that will define this generation. We empower people to take on the biggest challenges of our time — strengthening democracy; foster civic engagement, social justice and voter participation; addressing public health crises; fighting for gender equity; and more. Civic Nation drives real, meaningful change by shifting culture, systems, and policy. We organize at every level and serve as a connector — of people and programs, of grassroots activists and leaders of industries and organizations, of ideas and the resources to make them reality. Our goal is to empower individuals, companies, institutions, and organizations to create a more inclusive, equitable America.
