Voter Education Programs

The League of Women Voters of Greater Tucson (LWVGT) continues the nearly 100-year tradition of educating voters from a non-partisan perspective about the most important issues of the day. LWVGT sponsors six panel-discussion programs per year to explore these issues in detail. Each event involves a panel discussion involving experts in their respective fields followed by a moderator-led question-and-answer session with the audience.
