League of Women Voters of Tallahassee

What League of Women Voters of Tallahassee does

The League of Women Voters of Tallahassee (LWVT) is a local chapter of the national League of Women Voters, founded in 1920 as part of the post-suffrage civic infrastructure and operating continuously for over 100 years in Tallahassee, Florida. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit for voter education and a 501(c)(4) for advocacy, with headquarters at 1400 Village Square Blvd., Suite 3, Box 115, Tallahassee, FL 32312. It is governed by two Co-Presidents (Carol Weissert, former FSU political science professor, and Miriam Tellechea) and a board including elected and appointed members, with committee chairs overseeing Voter Services, Membership, Natural Resources & Clean Energy, New Citizens, and Public Health. The organization maintains approximately 500 local activists and supporters.

LWVT's core products and services center on voter registration drives, candidate forums (held at WFSU studios and livestreamed), management of local content on the nationwide Vote411.org voter guide platform, Know Your Public Officials directories for Leon and Gadsden Counties, and monthly Hot Topics educational sessions. Supporting programs include the Voter Advocate training/certification pipeline, Adopt-A-Precinct poll worker initiative, Mission 1313 neighborhood engagement targeting low-turnout communities, the Natural Resources & Clean Energy Committee, and a 2024-launched campaign and yard sign recycling partnership with Leon County Government, the City of Tallahassee, and Marpan Recycling. Its technology stack is built on the national Vote411.org platform, with Constant Contact for newsletter distribution, Eventbrite for event ticketing, Google Calendar for scheduling, and a Wix-hosted website.

The organization's revenue model is membership-based and donation-driven. Annual membership dues are set by the national LWVUS, with revocation authority held centrally; the local chapter retains 100% of locally collected donations. Donations are structured as named "Suffragist Circles" tiers (Susan B. Anthony $75+, Ida B. Wells $150+, Alice Paul $300+, Carrie Chapman Catt $500+). Services to voters and the community are provided free of charge, consistent with the nonprofit mission. Go-to-market relies on a community-led, volunteer-driven model — Voter Advocates conduct year-round registration at high-traffic venues — combined with event-driven outreach through candidate forums, Hot Topics sessions, naturalization ceremony attendance, and neighborhood canvassing, supported by social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletter, and digital content channels.

• League of Women Voters of Miami-Dade County: Another local LWV chapter in Florida offering voter registration, candidate forums, and civic education at the county level. Directly comparable in scope, programming, and member-driven operating model, but serves a different Florida geography.
• League of Women Voters of Florida: State-level parent organization of LWVT, providing the same nonpartisan voter education and advocacy across Florida. Directly comparable mission, programmatic approach, and funding model; LWVT operates as a local chapter under LWVFL.
• Common Cause Florida: Nonpartisan government watchdog and voting-rights advocacy organization operating in Florida. Directly comparable mission around election integrity, voter access, and civic engagement in the same state.

Emerging players

• HeadCount: Nonpartisan voter registration nonprofit leveraging music, events, and digital channels to register voters. Comparable voter-registration and civic-engagement mission, especially among younger demographics overlapping with LWVT's college-student outreach.
