    Sumter County needs your help with voter protection

    Sumter County wants to be sure your vote counts for the mid-term elections this year. To do that we need volunteers for our voter protection program. The section below lists the elements of the voter protection program. We can help you learn what to do. Our most pressing need is for someone to lead the oversight of the program.

    This person will need to help oversee each element of the program and co-ordinate with the people leading each portion of the program. We already have someone to lead the cures team and will be asking people to volunteer to be poll watchers and observers.

    Our lead needs to be a good organizer and willing to make sure the program runs smoothly through the primary in August and the general election in November. This will include early voting as well as on Election Day.

    This year the election will be critical for democracy. Can you join us for this history making election? Please contact me at debfaris12@gmail.com

    Let’s flip Florida blue. Florida has already flipped 30 seats from red to blue in the past 18 months!

    Thanks for your consideration,

    Debbie Faris

    Chair - Sumter Democratic Party

    The elements of the voter protections program include:

    Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy. Voter Protection works to be sure every eligible voter can vote and every vote is counted.

    The elements of our Voter Protection Program include:

    • Voter Education

    • Poll Watchers and Poll Observers

    • Boiler Room (Call center for questions that arise during voting)

    • Cure Ballots (correcting ballot mistakes so the vote counts)

    • Canvassing Board Observers

    • Recount





    BY FLORIDA LAW, ALL VOTE-BY-MAIL REGISTRATIONS EXPIRED AFTER THE NOVEMBER 2024 ELECTION. THE TRI-COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS OFFICE WEBSITES HAVE NOT YET BEEN UPDATED TO ANNOUNCE APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT ELECTION CYCLE. WE'LL POST THE NEW LINKS WHEN THEY DO SO. THANK YOU.
