If we did not know before, we now understand how important our vote for political office holders can be. Politicians make decisions that affect our health and safety, our economic status and our environment. Understanding of, and involvement in, the process of redistricting can be the first step in preserving your ability to make decisions about your life by voting. We will be posting and updating information on our website to make sure you can do your part in exercising your freedom to cast a meaningful vote.

You joined the league to make a difference and here is your chance. We are currently looking for a volunteer to serve as co-chair of Voter Services.

Kim A. Barton, Alachua County Supervisor of Elections
