Every Vote Counts: From Community to County

Every election matters, no matter the size. From neighborhood school boards and community councils to city leadership and countywide offices, each race plays a vital role in shaping the future of Tampa Bay. Every Vote Counts: From Community to County reminds us that our voices are most powerful when we use them at every level.

County Races

County races affect the larger Tampa Bay region and include positions such as county commissioners, sheriffs, clerks, and countywide referendums.

Community Races

By voting in community races, you help shape decisions about schools, parks, safety, and development in the areas closest to you.

Local Races

Local races cover broader city-wide or regional elections, such as mayoral seats, city commissioners, and municipal measures.
