Gov. Ron DeSantis' order to return to in-person events beginning next month means virtual access to public debates could be cut off.
“I think that we’ve learned that there are a lot of benefits to virtual meetings,” Florida League President Patricia Brigham said. “It reduces travel, it reduces expense, it reduces travel time and it can actually result in bigger attendance than if you have a big event that everyone has to travel to from all over the state.” ...

Governments learned after a bumpy start how to provide the public with online access to meetings during the pandemic. But with orders from Gov. Ron DeSantis to return to in-person events, officials and citizens fear that virtual access to debates and decisions will be cut off.

thank you, League, I used your amendment info for my ballot.......glad it was available
Less than half an hour ago, someone asked me about the FLWV' position on Amendment 3. It wasn't a pleasant explanation...
Under the circumstances, given the league's reversal of support for Amendment 3, their claim to be nonpartisan is seriously in question. :(
Amendment info is so helpful. I refer friends to your site!
Your statement on amendment 3 reminds me of the new tagline the press now has to use for President Trump:
The League of Women voters now claims, without evidence, that Top Two Open Primaries would have a strong adverse impact on African-American representation in Florida.
“The harms caused by rushing this year’s census count are irreparable,” Sotomayor wrote in her dissent. “And respondents will suffer their lasting impact for at least the next 10 years.” ... See MoreSee Less
They just keep allowing him to walk all over the Constitution........
Just remember the LWV is nothing more than a Marxist Front group like the Sierra Club. Stand with those who wave the flag, not those who burn it..
Pretty clear that it is a GOP tactic to preserve their gerrymandered districts which would be redrawn if the census was counted properly.
Just wow! They will literally stop at nothing to cheat
Just wow
Just wild.
Smh. 😳

Why is early voting not open in all counties on the 19th
Can I vote in person if I got a mail in ballot and changed my mind? I can’t find any info on that on government site. Thanks!
Palm Beach County has added Van locations all over the county to act as additional drop boxes for mail ballots! As well as at all the Early Voting sites! It all starts October 19th!
Yes, you can. Take your ballot to your polling place and then vote the usual way. OR just place your mail-in ballot in the mail-in ballot box INSIDE the polling room.
Call your supervisor of elections office - in Jacksonville they answered immediately twice over the past 6 days.
The League is encouraging voters to mail their ballots by Tuesday to ensure they have plenty of time to fix any problems that may arise. ... See MoreSee Less
Don’t wait any longer to get your ballot in the mail, the League of Women Voters of Florida is recommending. If you want to make sure it gets to the elections office to be counted, and any potential problems resolved, you should start thinking of mailing your completed ballot soon.
