OUR STUDIES
We study issues...
-
Because we need detailed, reliable, carefully researched information.
-
So LWV members and citizens can reach their own conclusions.
-
To develop advocacy positions that can be used by our Action Team.
To request a hard copy of any of these reports, contact LWV of Oregon at lwvor@lwvor.org. Reports are free; however, there is a small charge to cover shipping. Some quantities may be limited. Many college and community libraries have copies as well.
You can find additional League studies, including national and other state studies, at the LWVUS Study Clearinghouse website.
