City of Archer recently issued the following announcement.
Once again, two Washington D.C.-based nonprofits, the Center for Voter Information and the Voter Participation Center, are sending potentially misleading mailings to Alachua County voters and other residents.
Despite the efforts of Supervisor of Elections Kim A. Barton and Supervisors of Elections across the state asking these organizations to cease these actions, the two groups, which regularly send similar mailings across Florida, announced they will collectively send more than 9,000 pieces of mail to Alachua County. In 2020, the same groups sent more than 30,000 mailings to Alachua County residents. They notified our office that residents should begin receiving the unofficial mailings around March 17.
The groups’ voter registration-related mailings have previously confused voters, and will continue to do so, with notices sent based on incorrect or out-of-date information. Prior mailings have resulted in pre-filled voter registration applications sent to already registered voters, deceased persons, minor children, and even pets.
The Center for Voter Information and the Voter Participation Center are unaffiliated with the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections. The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections does not provide the address information used to conduct the mailings.
Individuals with questions or concerns regarding these mailings are encouraged to contact these groups directly and can unsubscribe from future mailings using the links below:
