VOTING RIGHTS & ELECTION REFORM

The League of Women Voters of Florida promotes
electoral reforms that make voting easy, equitable,
and effective at expressing public will through
election results.

We oppose gerrymandering, that
is, manipulation of election district boundaries to
favor one party or class. We advocate for fair,
transparent redistricting.

We are interested in any
issue or process that directly affects any Florida
citizen’s access to voting (e.g., voter registration,
voting machines, ballot design, etc). Learn More...

Florida’s constitutional requirement to make
adequate provision for the education of all children
that is ‘uniform, efficient, safe, secure and high
quality’. We support a free public-school system for
Florida with high standards for student
achievement and with quality of educational
opportunity for all that is financed adequately by
the state through

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH & JUSTICE

Without the ability to make reproductive decisions
for one’s own body, women and those who can
become pregnant cannot participate equally in our
democracy. This harm will exacerbate societal
inequalities and fall disproportionately on people
of color and low-income communities already
facing egregious obstacles to health care.

The League of Women Voters of Florida supports
regulations concerning the purchase, ownership,
and use of handguns that balance as nearly as
possible individual constitutional rights with the
general interest and welfare of the community.

The League supports licensing procedures for gun
ownership by private citizens to include a waiting
period for a background check, personal identity
verification, gun safety education, and annual
license renewal.
