Supervisor of Elections advises voters of unofficial mailings
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. (April 7, 2020) — 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.
The two groups, which routinely send similar mailings across Florida, announced they will collectively send more than 30,000 pieces of mail this month in Alachua County.
Intended for residents who are not registered to vote, the groups’ mailings have previously confused voters, with notices sent based on incorrect or out-of-date information.
Neither the Center for Voter Information nor the Voter Participation Center is affiliated with the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections. The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections does not provide the address information used to conduct the mailing.
