WE ARE HERE TO EDUCATE
Did you know that we have trained volunteer TEAMS that can attend your group's next event to educate them about the voting process and help them get registered to vote?  Or, perhaps you would like to hear about our advocacy issues or local government involvement.
 
SCHEDULE us for VOTER REGISTRATION at your next event!
Our Voter Services team can educate your attendees on how to be #voteready and help them get registered.   Click Request for Voter Registration Event
 
INVITE us to SPEAK to your group.  Our Speaker's Bureau team can discuss voting, our issue advocacies, League history/policy, local government and more. Click Speaker Request Form
The League of Women Voters Orange County’s monthly Hot Topics luncheon Wednesday drew a record crowd – 271 guests gathered at the Winter Park Events Center for a program called “Maxwell & Maxwell.”

It was supposed to be a conversation between Florida 10th Congressional District Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Orlando, and Scott Maxwell, Orlando Sentinel columnist and all-around Florida watchdog, but Frost was stuck in the Hot Mess halls of Congress (you might’ve heard about the House speaker chaos) and appeared only in a short pre-recorded video, during which he promised to speak in-person down the road.

JOIN US as our panel discusses how artificial intelligence may affect elections and democracy as a whole. AI poses a threat to the 2024 elections by creating and spreading false or misleading information that can manipulate voters, damage candidates’ reputations, and undermine trust in democracy. It also poses a threat to the security and integrity of the electoral process by launching cyberattacks on election infrastructure or interfering with voter education and participation.
