Register To Vote
Voting is your number one advocacy tool. It is your opportunity to decide who will represent you in the policy making process, in your community, state, and country. It is important to be informed about candidates, and elections before placing your vote. You can learn more by going to the State Division of Elections site (http://election.dos.state.fl.us/index.html), candidate web sites (enter candidate’ name into a search engine), and your newspaper (both hard copy and online)
