Island Coast wins High School Voter Registration Challenge
Lee County Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle has announced the winners of the 2022-2023 High School Voter Registration Challenge.
• First Place: Island Coast High School
• Second Place: Lehigh Senior High School
• Third Place: Mariner High School
The annual High School Voter Registration Challenge aims to provide voter education and increase voter registration among Lee County’s youth.
“Voter education is paramount in ensuring our youth become active participants in the electoral process,” states Tommy Doyle, Lee County Supervisor of Elections. “We’re thankful for our partnerships with the schools and their support in voter education.”
Eleven out of the 15 high schools invited by Lee Elections participated in the challenge. Team members from the Lee Elections Community Education Services Department registered and pre-registered 1,256 new voters ages 16 and older across all the participating schools.
This year’s challenge began on Sept. 12, 2022, and was originally scheduled to end on Feb. 3, 2023; however, the deadline was extended to Feb. 24 due to the impact of Hurricane Ian in Lee County.
