Voter Registration Deadline Nears for City Elections

Residents of the City of Sarasota and the Town of Longboat Key must be registered by Monday, Feb. 11, to be eligible to vote in their respective municipal elections set for March 12.

To register to vote, residents must complete a Florida Voter Registration Application Form. Forms are available at supervisor of elections’ offices, city halls, county libraries, county offices, social service agencies and many area banks, or may be downloaded from the supervisor of elections (SOE) website at www.SarasotaVotes.com.

Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent also recommends that voters verify their registration information.  A voter who has moved, had a name change, or needs to update his or her signature since the last election may do so by completing a voter registration application.
