FOR MANUAL AUDIT – AUGUST PRIMARY

We are so pleased to have many members volunteering to observe the Collier County Canvassing Board for the August 20 Primary election! We’ve filled all the volunteer spots for the meetings during the August time frame, but still have room for a couple of volunteers for the Manual Audit on September 4. If you can observe the Manual Audit, please sign up at www.lwvcolliercounty.org, clicking ‘take action’ then ‘volunteer’. You’ll receive background information on observing this important and interesting task.

That said, Canvassing Board meetings are open to the public so anyone and everyone can attend. If you choose to join us, please wear your LWV name pin. Meetings take place at the Supervisor of Elections buildings, 3750 Enterprise Avenue, Naples 34104.

LEAGUE POSITION ON AMENDMENT 1
 
The LWV in Florida is opposed to the passage of Amendment 1, which would make school board elections in Florida partisan. Please read LWVCC's Letter to the Editor, which was published in the July 17 edition of the Naples Daily News.

The Collier County School Board
Each Florida school district is governed by a school board comprised of at least five members who serve staggered terms of four years. Collier County’s school board has five members elected by voters countywide.

School taxes represent 40% to 50% of a homeowner’s total property tax. This is one reason it’s important to know who is on the school board and what their priorities are.

Collier County Constitutional Officers

Five county constitutional officers, together with a Board of County Commissioners, form the executive branch of government in Collier County and in each of the 46 other non-charter counties in Florida. This “plural executive” form of government established by the Florida constitution ensures that no single person is responsible for the administration of all county functions.
