The League of Women Voters of
Calvert County assists citizens to become more informed participants in their
community and their government by
-
producing
Voters' Guides in cooperation with local newspapers;
-
assisting at voter registration drives and
providing
information about voting;
-
conducting community forums on local, state,
and national issues;
-
hosting forums for candidates;
-
distributing informational brochures such as
the Know Your County Handbook and other
publications;
-
and providing information about government on
the
national,
state, and
local levels.
The League also
conducts
studies on issues such as transportation, housing, environmental
concerns, campaign reform, etc. (See the
Elibrary for fact sheets from completed studies from LWVs all over the state.) After the
study has been completed and a consensus has been reached, the League states
its
position. At that point, the League may encourage
action and/or advocacy on the local, state, or national levels.
