With just four days left in the election, all eyes are on Florida and Indian River County Democrats are fired up and ready to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We’re getting out the vote through a massive grassroots effort by working hard to turn out Democrats all across the county and not taking any vote for granted. Please volunteer to support our efforts HERE.
This is going to be an incredibly close race and we are on pace to win but no one should be comfortable – it's going to take everyone digging in and focusing on what we need to do to win. We should all feel a sense of urgency. This is going to be an extremely close race. But if we put in the work – having more conversations with the voters who will decide this election like we are doing every day – it will push us over the edge. You can help by finding shifts HERE to canvass or phone banking with us.
We currently recommend that all voters with vote-by-mail ballots return them to a Secure Ballot Intake Station instead of putting them in the mail. If you experience any issues at a polling place or for voting information and assistance, please contact the Voter Protection Hotline at (833) VOTE-FLA or (833) 868-3352.
We have added candidate and amendment information as well as sample ballots and election FAQ's to our website. Locate your sample ballot HERE.
Sunday Recap
Thank you to our lead caravan and volunteer appreciation event organizers, Cynthia Carter-Lee and Karen Piazza! Thanks to their efforts, volunteers across the county were waving flags, honking horns, and showing their Democratic spirit as they caravanned and arrived at our Democratic Club sponsored volunteer appreciation taco party.
Sunday's events brought together our enthusiastic volunteers in a fun and encouraging atmosphere that fostered connections among both new and familiar faces. Many remarked on the delicious food and positive vibes, highlighting how uplifting it was to be surrounded by like-minded people advocating for a common cause. The caravan and party left us feeling energized and hopeful about our collective efforts. It is important for us to remain involved in the political landscape. Let's carry this enthusiasm into our efforts over the next four days!
In addition to our in group canvassing events, we are also pleased to now offer NEW Grab & Go Bundles every weekday! Swing by the office during office hours to pick up a bundle to canvass at a time that works for you. When you've completed that bundle, drop off your turf map and pick up another one. It's that simple!
