League of Women Voters of Florida
The League of Women Voters of Florida (LWVF) is a civic organization in the state of Florida. The League's bylaws mandate that the organization will not support any candidate or party, but the League's members do advocate on policy issues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thefloridavoter.org/about-lwvfl/history )〕
The Florida League got its official start in the state in 1939, when women in Winter Haven, Winter Park and St. Petersburg initiated the Florida League of Women Voters, following some earlier efforts. Its first project was a study of state government with a particular focus on the State's Constitution. Early advocacy efforts encouraged the Florida Legislature to end the process of gerrymandering. Voters approved two gerrymandering-related amendments in 2011 which were placed in the State Constitution.
Thirty local Leagues statewide〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thefloridavoter.org/about-lwvfl/local-leagues )〕 hold candidate forums, issue an election year Voter Guide, and sponsor public forums. Pam Goodman is President of the League of Women Voters of Florida. She is the former CEO of Express Limited; 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.thefloridavoter.org/about-lwvfl/board-of-directors )〕 The current full board of directors for the Florida League includes Chuck O'Neal, First VP, Maribel Balbin, Second Vice President, Former Republican Senate Majority Leader Alex Villalobos, Former Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder (D), first woman elected to Congress from Colorado; former state legislator Annie Betancourt: and former Senator Paula Dockery.

Local activism has included recommending the initiation of a recycling program in St. Petersburg; supporting the Central Florida commuter rail network SunRail; endorsing a court case which ended voter purges held 90 days before a federal election; striking down of restrictions on volunteer voter registration efforts;〔(Declaration of Deirdre Macnab Submitted in Further Support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction ), United States District Court, Northern District of Florida〕 and the re-institution of early voting days and early voting on the Sunday before election day.
