General Election
Voter Guide Featuring Candidate Profiles for:

Proposed Amendments to State Constitution (Pros and Cons)
The VoteAnywhere campaign, started by the League of Women Voters of Orange County, greatly enhanced citizen awareness and participation during the 2008 Elections. Whether it was encouraging voter registration, or reminding voters to update their addresses, to the convenience of Voting by Mail or just knowing where to go on Election Day, Supervisors of Elections greatly appreciate the efforts by the League in generating a more engaged community of voters. That’s important. Our joint goal in teaming this year is to see a meaningful voter turn-out for the August 24th Primary Election in Florida and to build on that experience for the November General Election.
