Vote411 Local Voters Guide | How you can support this vital civics project
We believe that educating and informing voters in Key West and Monroe County is the best way to ensure candidates are held accountable to their constituents. One of the best ways to do that is through a voters guide. Our local voters guide will be available online before the August primary!
This year your chapter will participate in the state-wide league program called Vote411. Championed by President Joan Wallin, your board committed the funds and the time to create a city and county online voters guide that includes questions and answers for each city and county office seeker. We will work with the Upper Keys chapter to include candidates from the middle and upper Keys.
Which candidates will be included?
Voter Services Chair Joy Brown Taylor is coordinating our participation in the Vote 411 program. President Joan Wallin is chairing the chapter's overall Vote411 effort.
You can help in two ways:
Email your suggested questions to Joy. She will use your ideas and topics to shape the questions submitted to each of the candidates. You can help by emailing your questions and/or topics of interest to Joy Brown Taylor before June 18.
Volunteer to help contact candidates and input their responses. Please email Joan Wallin before June 18 to volunteer to help.
