2008 STATE AND LOCAL ELECTIONS IN VOLUSIA COUNTY
Volusia County is represented by a number of
local, state, and national elected officials. For your information, all candidates who have qualified for
the 2008 elections to represent residents of Volusia County are listed below, including those
who have no opposition.
The LWVVC contacted those candidates who have opposition, asking them to respond by August 1, 2008 to
specific questions relating to
Volusia County and the offices they wish to hold. The questionnaires sent to these
candidates may be seen by clicking here. The
candidates' individual responses were posted on the LWVVC website on August 8, 2008 as
information for the voters of Volusia County. All responses are posted as submitted by
the candidates, with no editing by the LWVVC other than to convert those in Microsoft Word to a format which can
be read by any web browser, without the need for proprietary software. When candidates sent electronic photographs,
these were included the web pages.
The November ballot will include 9 proposed constitutional amendments which will affect the lives of all who
live in Florida. The League of Women Voters of Florida has studied these proposals and provides
Pros and Cons for each one.
The primary election will be August 26 and the general election November 4.
For registration deadlines, early voting dates, and voting sites, see the schedule at the
County Elections
Office. The LWVVC is proud we are able to make this local service available to the citizens of
Volusia County. For links to information on the national elections and state and
