The League of Women Voters of Florida
Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.
The League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVFL) is a nonpartisan political organization encouraging informed and active participation in government, working to increase understanding of major policy issues, and advocating for legislative changes and policies for the public good.
Current focus points
Legislative Priorities
LWVFL works to advocate for better Florida for all by drafting, supporting and opposing state legislation. Our grassroots membership determines specific legislative goals within various policy issues each year.
REGISTERING
RETURNING CITIZENS
Ending disenfranchisement and discrimination against people with convictions is a priority for the Florida League following the passage of 2018’s Amendment 4.
VOTER SERVICES
Much of LWVFL’s history stems from our work to register, empower and educate voters. We work endlessly to register new voters, host candidate forums and educate the public on various issues.
ENSURE THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION IN FLORIDA
A coalition entitled “Floridians Protecting Freedom” has launched a citizen-led ballot initiative campaign to give women the right to seek abortions up to viability. Florida voters want women to have the chance to ensure that their personal medical decisions are theirs and theirs alone to make. The League of Women Voters of Florida Board of Directors has voted to support this citizen initiative effort.
The decision of whether or not to have an abortion belongs to Floridians, their families, and those they trust — this campaign is an opportunity to further enshrine those protections in our state constitution.

League of Women Voters of Florida co-presidents pen op-ed:
"Regardless of the unnecessary roadblocks erected, the League of Women Voters will continue to empower voters and defend democracy. Although the system wasn’t broken and the government’s 'fix' just made things worse, the League will continue to assist citizens in registering to vote in the same professional, experienced and qualified manner, just a lot less efficiently and with a significant increase in cost." ...
