The LWVVC is proud to make information on local candidates available to the citizens of Volusia County. In early July the LWVVC contacted all candidates for local offices who were not automatically elected due to lack of opposition, asking for responses to specific questions relating to the offices sought and the areas to be represented. Responses were posted on the website exactly as received by the deadline of July 30th. For results of the August 24, 2010 elections, see http://volusia.org/elections/082410/Unofficial%20ESR.pdf.

Responses of those who will not be on the November ballot have now been removed. The responses of those who will be on the November ballot remain, and only those races are listed below. The note "(I)" after a name indicates Incumbent. For a list of questions, click here. Click on the candidate's name to see his or her response.

For a list of upcoming LWVVC informational sessions on the November Constitutional Amendents, see the LWVVC Calendar. See also the League of Women Voters of Florida document, Pros and Cons on the Constitutional Amendments. Note that on September 1, 2010, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' decisions to strike Amendments 3, 7, and 9 from the November ballot. The League of Women Voters of Florida officially opposed all three amendments, and participated in the suit against Amendment 7. The Court also rejected a challenge to Amendments 5 and 6.
