Amendment 1 – Oppose
Amendment 2 – Oppose
Amendment 4 – No Position Taken
Amendment 5 – Support
Amendment 6 – Support

“In supporting the Fair Districts Amendments, which the League has worked towards for decades, we urge Florida voters to VOTE YES on 5 & 6 to end gerrymandering by creating fair and contiguous representative districts,” states Deirdre Macnab, President of the League of Women Voters of Florida. “It’s time for voters to choose their elected officials, instead of elected officials continuing to choose their voters through gerrymandering.”
The League of Women Voters of Florida has conducted numerous studies and regularly publishes positions on issues of importance to the voters of Florida. Voters can get more information on League issues and positions can be found in STUDY AND ACTION, available online at www.TheFloridaVoter.org.
