The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The Okaloosa League strives to be a voice for citizens and a force for progress on the Emerald Coast. In the League your hands-on work to safeguard democracy leads to civic improvement. Democracy is not a spectator sport! Join the League and get involved in shaping the important issues and keeping our community strong. Help make government work for everyone!

In a nutshell, the mission of League is to promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government. League is particularly concerned with issues arising from local, state or national needs. When an issue is identified, League studies it in-depth -- usually over a period of one or more years -- before agreeing on a consensus position. Once consensus is reached the League takes action in the form of efforts to inform, build public opinion and influence the legislature.
