The League of Women Voters of Charlotte County is an organization that can be counted on to provide City of Murals, Punta Gorda, FL impartial educational information on issues and candidates as well as one that, when taking a firm position on an issue, does so only after thoughtful study. It is these two seemingly contradictory roles that give the League its real strength – providing complete information on both sides of an issue in one instance and advocating for or against an issue in another.

Roles

Founded in 1968, the League of Women Voters of Charlotte County serves these important roles in our community: Voter Service, Citizen Education, Study and Action.
