A multilevel preconditioner based on the abstract framework of the auxiliary space method, is developed for the mortar method for the nonconforming P1 finite element or the lowest order Crouzeix-Raviart finite element on nonmatching grids. It is shown that the proposed preconditioner is quasi-optimal in the sense that the condition number of the preconditioned system is independent of the mesh size, and depends only quadratically on the number of refinement levels. Some numerical results confirming the theory are also provided.
