The League of Women Voters of Florida is a pilot for a new "voter concierge" program. Vote With Us’s "Personal Voter Concierge Service" is a part of a series of Center for Artistic Activism (C4AA) supported works that protect the freedom to vote with creativity and innovation. C4AA invited friends and family across the country to reach out if they needed help researching their ballot or figuring out their voting logistics game plan for the 2022 midterm elections. Now in 2024, their work is expanding and the League has been selected to help!

A hallmark of informing voters in an election year are the LWV candidate forums. The LWV of Alachua County, our affiliate LWV student chapter at the University of Florida (LWV at UF), and the Bob Graham Center for Public Service are partnering to present a forum for candidates running in the primary election. Questions about local issues have been composed by LWV members for each candidate for each seat. A reception will follow and live streaming is available for those who cannot attend in person.
