Lee On-Demand Vote-by-Mail Re-Enrollment Phonebank

Lee On-Demand Vote-by-Mail Re-Enrollment Phonebank

Virtual Event
Florida’s vote-by-mail rules have changed—and many Lee County Democrats are no longer signed up to get a mail ballot in 2026. These are some of our most reliable voters—and unless we reach them, many could be left behind. Your quick, helpful conversations will make a real difference. You can make calls whenever it works for you–anytime between 9am-8pm on Mon-Sat, and 11am-7pm on Sun!  Sign up to be sent all the details and begin making your calls. Training and support provided.

North Lee County Dems in Action -- Post Carding

North Lee County Dems in Action -- Post Carding

North Fort Myers Library -- Study Room 1 (NOT the big meeting room) - North Fort Myers Public Library, North Tamiami Trail, North Fort Myers, FL, USA
Join your fellow North Lee County Dems for a morning of action. We'll be writing postcards to reach voters in our area to remind them to re-enroll in Vote By Mail. When voters get their ballot by mail, it makes it easier for them to participate in elections. It eliminates barriers like long lines, work schedules, transportation issues, bad weather, health events, and illnesses.  Florida voters may not know that all previous Vote-By-Mail requests expired on December 31, 2024, and we all have to re-enroll in order to receive our ballot in the mail.  Also, it's important for voters to know that they should check their registration and mailing address because the Postal Service will not forward mail containing a ballot. Come join like-minded people from North Lee County for action and great conversation. We supply the postcards, pens, and stamps. You supply the energy! Also, please see the companion event to this one: the North Lee County Dems monthly lunch.  After we postcard, we're going to reward ourselves with lunch together at a nearby restaurant.
