Public Statement

This Election Day—November 8, 2022—Connecticut voters have the power to make early voting possible in future elections. Right now, Connecticut is one of only four states that do not offer early, in-person voting for all eligible voters; however, if this amendment passes, the legislature will be able to change that.
This question will be on the ballot: “Shall the Constitution of the State be amended to permit the General Assembly to provide for early voting?” Bringing early voting to Connecticut is a practical way to improve access to the democratic process for everyone.

During the November election, Alachua County voters will be asked to decide if we should change the way our county commissioners are elected. Ballots for Alachua County residents will include this question: “Shall the five members of the board of county commissioners of Alachua County, Florida, be elected to office from single-member districts by electors residing in each of those districts only?” Here we describe the benefits and disadvantages of changing the method of electing our county commissioners. The decision is yours to make. Please vote!

This month's member to find herself in the Spotlight is Sandy Mueller. Sandy has a passion for Voter Registration, especially youth. You will often see Sandy at events with the QR code to register a voter, as in this picture.

Working with the Empowerment Club of Downers Grove North HighSchool, Sandy initiated a TicToc challenge to create a 60 second Tic Toc video on the importance of voting. GOTV at it's finest!
