Advocating for issues, not parties
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
The League of Women Voters is a national nonpartisan political group encouraging informed, active participation in government and elections. We study and report on major public policy issues. Membership is open to men and women of all ages.The Charlotte County (Florida) chapter is one of 800 affiliates of the national LWV.
Your participation makes a difference! Through regular "Capitol Reports." During the Florida Legislative session, we are alerted to actions needed on League legislative issues. "Action Alerts" to our members help you focus energies on our legislative goals.
In addition to regular League meetings, we lead local activities that include speaker events, voter education and engagement strategies, tours of local institutions, lobbying activities, and social mixers to meet like-minded people who enjoy civic affairs.
Why our local League exists
Members of our chapter of the League of Women Voters defend democracy by helping all eligible voters to register, obtain knowledge about voters' issues and candidates, and have open access to the polls.
