LWV Back in Action
June 6th, 2012 by flanewsThe Florida League of Woman Voters is preparing to re-launch its voter registration efforts. The league stopped signing up new voters last year after Florida new election laws put a 48 hour deadline in place for third party registration groups to turn in voter applications. Marion Wills with the Florida League of Woman Voters says the deadline was too tight for their volunteers.
“When you are working with somebody you are paying to do this, you can enforce that. When you are working with volunteers it’s a whole different story,” said Wills.
Last week a federal judge through out the 48 hour provision. Now third party registration groups have 10 days to turn in voter applications. The League of Woman Voters will be signing up volunteers over the next few days and will begin registration drives next week.
