Electioneering, as I understand it, refers to campaigning or advocating for a particular candidate or position (such as on a ballot referendum issue).  It does not include non-partisan announcements that serve an informational function.  E.g., reminders of an upcoming election, voter registration deadlines, or the deadline for registering as a candidate in a local election would not fall under "electioneering."  In short, if it's something the League of Women Voters would do, it promotes civic participation but is not electioneering.<div>
