About the League of Women Voters Nashville (LWVN)

The League of Women Voters Nashville is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization committed to empowering voters and defending democracy through advocacy, education, and civic engagement. We work at the local, state, and national levels to protect and expand voting rights while ensuring fair representation in our democracy.

The LWVN never supports or endorses political parties or candidates. While we encourage and enable all of our members to be civically and politically active, the organization maintains a strict non-partisan stance.

The Nashville League Receives the E. Bronson Ingram Award

The LWVN is proud to receive the E. Bronson Ingram Award by PENCIL for their support of Nashville’s public schools. PENCIL links community resources to Metro Nashville Public Schools.
