Voter Service

Revised in 2008

We support an active effort of service to the citizens of Trumbull County to increase voter participation in all elections. The League of Women Voters of Trumbull County will broaden their nonpartisan role in voter service to include: Developing an active Voter Service Committee, Educating the Electorate and League Membership in the voter process, Conducting voter registration drives prior to all elections, Facilitating Candidates Forums, strengthening the relationship between the League and the Board of Elections, maintaining an active Observer Corps and producing a yearly Voter Information Guide.

Land Use

Revised in 2006, 2007, 2009

We encourage the use by political subdivisions of planned goals and objectives for wise use of land, including the principals of smart growth, as a means of achieving a sound land use policy. We support legislation on restrictions of landfills (CDDL-Commercial Demolition Debris Landfills) and support the safety of the watershed in the Mahoning Valley. We will continue our representation as an active member of the Mahoning River Consortium.

Service Agencies and Commissions

We advocate that boards of service agencies and commissions which are publicly funded should have a reasonable percentage of consumer representation, geographic representation, and representation from a cross-section of the community.

Trumbull County Government Structure

Adopted 2008, Revised 2010

The LWVTC Board recommends the study of the Trumbull County government structure. The study is one that falls within the principals of the League of Women Voters. The strength of member interest in the issue is high. The Observer Corps will continue observation of several government agencies and report to membership.
