Florida Chamber of Commerce: Elections 2014

How Does Your Community Rank In Absentee Ballot Returns?

Why wait 19 days to cast your General Election ballot? Voters in communities throughout Florida aren’t wasting time, they have already voted by absentee ballot. In America, our right to vote for leaders and issues we believe in is one of our most important responsibilities. And voting by absentee ballot is one of the easiest and quickest ways to make your voice heard. How are voters in your community performing? The TOP 5 COUNTIES with the highest percentage rate of absentee ballots returned are: 1.      Sumter 2.      Lee 3.      Jefferson 4.      Okechobee 5.      Flagler The BOTTOM 5 COUNTIES include: 1.      Miami-Dade 2.      Hillsborough 3.      Palm Beach 4.      Broward 5.      De Soto Incredibly, it’s estimated that most Florida voters won’t even vote this November. It’s unfortunate because we’ve already had an election in Florida this year that was decided by only two votes. Every vote counts. And now is time to encourage your members, and their employees, to return their absentee ballots.
