About LWV of St. Lucie County
The League of Women Voters of St. Lucie County is one chapter among the many across Florida and the United States. We embrace members from Port St. Lucie, Ft. Pierce, Indian River County, and occasionally Okeechobee County.
The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a nonpartisan, grassroots nonprofit dedicated to empowering everyone to fully participate in American democracy. We engage in advocacy, education, litigation, and organizing to protect every American’s freedom to vote. The League is proud to be women-led and over 100 years old, emerging directly out of the women’s suffrage movement in 1920.
Nonpartisanship
The League of Women Voters does not support or oppose any political party or any candidate.
As an organization dedicated to both voter education and advocacy, the League takes strong stances on policy issues relating to voting rights, civil rights, and other issues of importance to members and the public. To learn more about our nonpartisan stance, read this blog post from the League of Women Voters of the United States.
Federated Model
LWV operates at three levels: local, state, and national.
The federated structure of LWV comprises a national League and affiliated state and local Leagues that are separately incorporated. Those who join the League become members of their local League, their state League, and the national League.
