In pursuit of our mission, LWV has two separate and distinct roles:
- Voter Service & Community Education: We research and present unbiased nonpartisan information about candidates, the voting process and propositions and measures.
- Action and Advocacy: We start by working together to identify issues of concern, study those issues, and develop positions. Positions can be created at the local, state, or national level.
Once we have a studied position on an issue we take action and advocate for or against particular policies or laws.
While we never take action regarding political parties or candidates, we work hard to support our stated Positions.
We walk in the footsteps of brave women who for over a hundred years have championed democracy and the right to vote for all.

About our Website
As with everything else, our website is maintained by volunteers. For many years we used custom software created by LWVC, the California state League:
|
cs.ca.lwvnet.org
|
(04/2005 using LEW system)
|
|
my.lwv.org/california/cupertino-sunnyvale
|
(03/2018 using MyLo system)
|
On June 14, 2022 we switched from our LWVC MyLo-based website to a commercial ClubExpress-based one.
The prior website, https://my.lwv.org/california/cupertino-sunnyvale, is now offline. The link now re-directs to our ClubExpress-based site.
Our main URL, www.lvcs.org, now brings you to this site, which is defined to the internet as lwvcs.clubexpress.com, as well as lwvcs.org.
If you want to see these older websites, use the Internet Archive , to look at the many snapshots taken.
