Deadline Monday

Register to Vote or Change Parties

For August 30 Primary

Monday, August 1 is the deadline to register to vote or to change parties, to vote in the August 30 primary election.

Democrats, Independents and minor party members may want to consider temporarily changing their party affiliation to Republican in order to vote in the very important primary election for Sarasota County Commission between Mike Moran, the hand-picked tool of the big developers, and principled neighborhood leader and mediator Frank DiCicco.  If you want, you can change your registration back after the primary.

Citizens may register to vote or change parties at the Supervisor of Elections office in Sarasota, Venice or North Port, Thursday, Friday or Monday, 8:30 to 5 (North Port closed noon to 1):  Find Your Elections Office Here.   

If you want to print and fill out the registration form (with a black ballpoint pen) in advance, The Registration Form is Here. (Filling out the form is also used to change parties or otherwise change your information, such as the address).  Alternatively, you can mail that completed form with a postmark dated no later than Monday, August 1, to Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections, P.O. Box 4194, Sarasota, FL 34230.

Please do your part to protect your interests and those of the rest of the citizenry from those special interests which would hijack democracy for their personal gain.
