Speakers Bureau

On request LWVPBC sends speakers to condos, homeowners groups and other community organizations to interpret selected issues of concern to county citizens. Post elections, speakers will be available on topics of current interest in the county. To schedule a speaker call the League at 561-276-4898 or email info@lwvpbc.org

Voters Service

Our members work with schools, businesses and other organizations to encourage participation in elections by registering voters, providing information on voting procedures, and furnishing information about absentee ballots.

Candidate Forums

Before elections the League sponsors forums on TV and in local community centers to explore positions of candidates on topics related to the upcoming election. In accordance with League guidelines candidates must focus on issues and are firmly prohibited from making personal attacks on one another.

Legislative Action

When important votes on issues about which the League has a position come before state and national legislatures, League members are notified so they may lobby their representatives. For information about League recommendations contact the LWVPBC at 561-276-4898.
