Three ways to cast your ballot in August Primary
This will be a critical election year for Floridians, with decisions which will impact our competitiveness in education, healthcare, coastal drilling, protection of our water resources, growth management, and the list goes on.
Voters will face an historic number of state offices up for election, with no incumbents running. In addition, voters have to navigate as many as 10 complex ballot amendments, with their choices having a major impact on everything from class size to property taxes.
For the Aug. 24 Florida primary, the League of Women Voters of Florida encourages voters to vote the easy way. There are three ways to cast your ballot:
– Vote by mail
– Vote early at designated sites in your county
– Vote on Election Day
For more details on finding your precinct, how to order a mail-in ballot, locating your early voting site, or finding polling hours for Election Day, voters may log on to www.VoteAnywhere.org, or for Spanish to www.VamosaVotar.org.
“In this pivotal election year for Florida’s future, we call on every voter to exercise their citizenship and VOTE in the August primary,” said Deirdre Macnab, President of the League of Women Voters of Florida, in a prepared statement. “Vote on your schedule. It’s democracy made easy!”
The League of Women Voters, a non-partisan political organization, encourages the informed and active participation of citizens in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League is non-partisan and does not support or oppose candidates. Leagues do support issues and legislation but only after careful member study. League members register and mobilize people to vote. The League encourages citizens to participate in complex decision making processes that result in important public policy.
