Voter Registration
Why it Matters
The right to vote is a fundamental principle of our democracy. When more Americans can participate in our elections, the outcome better reflects who we are as a country. We work year-round at the state and local level to enact voting reforms that best increase turnout and help new communities participate in the process, making our elections more free, fair and accessible.
Since its inception, the League of Women Voters and its chapters have remained nonpartisan, never endorsing or opposing particular political parties or candidates. This promotes inclusion for greater citizen involvement, and has allowed the League to develop a strong, trusted voice for its advocacy and education campaigns. The League of Women Voters is dedicated to providing unbiased and fair information about candidates and ballot issues. For more voting information visit our website www.Vote411.org.

Every month, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office in Jacksonville naturalizes over 250 immigrants as new citizens. These new citizens are coming from all over the world – as nearby as Canada and as far away as Asia. We have been working with the USCIS to help register new voters as soon as they become citizens. We help them fill out the voter registration form and answer any questions they have about the election process in the US and Florida.
