League of Women Voters of Minnesota St. Peter Area

The League of Women Voters - St. Peter Area serves a broad area at the juncture of Blue Earth, Nicollet, and LeSueur Counties.  Our mission is to educate, empower, and activate voters so they can be full participants in civic life who trust and value the election experience.  We believe your vote is your voice.  

The LWVSP encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. LWVSP promotes political responsibility through informed and active participation in government and acts on selected governmental issues.

LWVSP affirms its commitment to reflect the diversity of Minnesota in its membership. We understand that diverse perspectives are important and necessary for responsible and representative decision-making; both diversity and pluralism are fundamental to the LWVSP values. 

Practicing inclusivity enhances the organization’s ability to respond more effectively to changing conditions and needs. In both its values and practices, LWVSP affirms that there shall be no barriers to participation in any activity on the basis of gender, race, creed, age, sexual orientation, national origin or disability. LWVSP will continue to seek new ways to enable direct participation of members from throughout the area.

The LWVSP is a nonpartisan political organization focused on encouraging informed and active participation in government, influencing public policy through education and advocacy. As a nonpartisan organization, we do not endorse political parties or candidates. We also understand that as voters, our members make partisan choices. However, we  take care to prevent and avoid  in the eyes of the public, either an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
