Decision 2022--Three Proposed Constitutional Amendments
Please join us October 12, at noon for a one-hour ZOOM presentation and Q&A about the three proposed Constitutional Amendments that will appear on the November ballot.
Our speaker will be Jessica Lowe-Minor, formerly an officer of the League of Women Voters at both the state and national levels. She currently is one of the most active speakers for LWVT.
In addition to choosing several important offices, including the governor and a U.S. Senator, as well as several local officials, Florida voters will be asked to consider three proposed constitutional amendments. Two of the amendments were proposed by the Legislature in 2021, and the other one was proposed by lawmakers this year.
Amendment 1 would prevent a property's assessed value from increasing after improvements were made to help combat flood damage.
Amendment 2 asks voters to repeal the Constitution Revision Commission (CRC); and,
Amendment 3 asks Floridians to consider an additional homestead property tax exemption for those who work in critical public service jobs.
This Hot Topic is brought to you by the LWV Tallahassee Voter Services Committee. The event is free, but you must register in advance:

Voter Services Activities 2022
The LWV Tallahassee will be busy this year due to elections. The Primary Election is August 23, 2022. Early Voting in Leon County is from August 13 through August 21. The General Election is November 8, 2022. Early Voting in Leon County is from October 24 through November 6. For those in other counties, check with your Supervisor of Elections for their Early Voting dates.
We will be staffing voter registration and education tables at the Tallahassee Downtown Market most Saturdays, as well as the Southside Farmer’s Market, which usually is open two Thursday afternoons per month. Stop by to register to vote or update your current registration and learn about new laws that affect all Florida voters. We strongly encourage voters to go to Early Voting whenever possible. However, we also encourage you to request a Vote-by-Mail ballot from your county’s Supervisor of Elections as a back-up in case something happens, such as an illness, that prevents you from voting in person.
The LWV Tallahassee is available to provide voter registration and education for nonpartisan organizations, such as community groups, sororities/fraternities, other university-affiliated organizations, religious organizations, senior groups, city or county events, etc.
Your health and that of our community is of the utmost importance to us. Thus, the League will take Covid precautions that are appropriate to the setting and local circumstances.
