Register voters with NWL, Planned Parenthood and Florida Immigrant Coalition!
February 16, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST
This is the last weekend before the deadline to register to vote in the presidential primary election on Tuesday, March 17th. Any new voter registration or updates like a new address or change in political party should be made by Tuesday, Feb. 18th. Check that your registration is current here. There is only one weekend remaining before the deadline: and we're meeting on Sunday with Planned Parenthood and the Florida Immigrant Coalition to register as many voters as possible.

Here’s why we need your help:
- There are tens-of-thousands who are newly-eligible to vote under Amendment 4.
- Of the already registered voters, roughly 40% don’t vote in general elections.
- Over 45,000 voters in Alachua County are registered as No Party Affiliation (NPA), and will not be able to vote on the democratic presidential candidate in the primary election.
- Over 18,000 people were removed from the voting rolls in Alachua County for “inactivity,” which is caused primarily by housing instability.
