Scope and content:

This series consists of action files, political studies, legislation related to a number of ballot measures, election reform, and voter information. As a non-partisan organization, one of the primary roles of the LWV is to provide unbiased information about elections, voting process, and issues. In keeping with the long-term goals of the League, the LWVSJSC studies the political issues of concern in the community, and after reaching membership consensus, they will endorse specific positions based on the public interest. The action and studies files are arranged hierarchically by National, State, and Local. The issues studied represent the diversity of the LWV study program and illustrate the interconnections between the local, regional, state, and national organization. The National records focus on federal government reform, international relations, and national security. The state records document concerns from abortion, agriculture, childcare, education, election reform, transportation, water quality, and issues specific to state governance. The local records document many of the same topics, and like many other California Leagues, the LWVSJSC studied regional planning and initiated studies on natural resources, environmental pollution, regional planning, and transportation. This series also includes documentation on the 1988 election year, state ballot measures from 1982-1988, and legislative documents.
