The study of governmental issues is one of the basic functions of the League of Women Voters. Study is undertaken at all three levels: national, state, and local, and leads to both education and advocacy, two of the basic missions of the organization. The League's process for study has acquired a solid
reputation for its in-depth and unbiased exploration of an issue submitted to its grassroots membership for informed discussion
During this exploration, members draw on balanced, pro/con materials, develop their own resources, turn to technical experts and public officials for
information, and reach out to the community through public meetings, surveys, and media coverage. This is all part of the study and consensus process
