Let's Grow Together! Bring a Friend to Our General Meetings

Join us for our second Hot Topic: the Digital Democracy Project (DDP) presented by Sadie Holtzmeyer, Executive Director of Florida Chapter of DDP. The Project is expanding to empower all U.S. voters to have more of a say on legislation. Before legislation makes it to a bill, voters weigh in on how they would vote on the bill. That information then goes to legislators, and a scorecard comes out showing how the legislators voted compared to what the people wanted. This is a fascinating process to learn more about and gives voters another way to have their voice heard.

Volunteer to observe the City of Naples Canvassing Board for the 2026 Naples Municipal election! At an open public meeting, the Canvassing Board conducts the Logic and Accuracy test of ballot processing and voting machines, reviews Vote-by-Mail (VBM) and provisional ballots, certifies the official results of the election and observes the manual audit of precinct/race. This is an important League service in supporting our mission of free and fair elections, with interesting people who care about election security. Volunteers are needed for the following dates and times:

• Tuesday, January 27, 10:00 a.m. (Logic & Accuracy Test)
  
• Tuesday, February 3, 5:00 p.m. (VBM ballots, Preliminary Returns)
  
• Thursday, February 5, 5:05 p.m. (VBM & Provisional Ballots, Official Certification, Select Audit Precinct)
  
• Wednesday February 11, 10:00 a.m. (Manual Audit)

The meetings will be held at the office of the Supervisor of Elections, 3750 Enterprise Avenue, Naples, 34104. If you can observe one or more meetings, volunteer observers will receive background information to familiarize them with this interesting and important task.

Join Collier County Clerk Crystal Kinzel (LWVCC member) as she explores the history of property taxes and explains the real-world consequences you and your community could face.

Vote411.org is LIVE with an online voter guide for the Feb. 3 Naples City Council election. Please share QR code with friends, neighbors, and family so they can hear directly from the candidates about their qualifications and positions on issues.

The Communications Team video series titled “Civics Unplugged” is being posted regularly on all of LWVCC’s social media sites. The goal of these short reels is to educate viewers on the basics of national and local civics, such as Branches of Government, Voting Rights, Constitutional Amendments, City Council, and more.

Whichever social media you use—Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, or YouTube—the more “clicks” on the postings we get, the more engagement we will see in our community! So please make sure you follow our social media to view, like, comment, and share our reels.
