ELECTIONS INFORMATION PAGE

Welcome to the official website for the City of Sarasota elections.

The City encourages you to participate in all elections. Voting is a fundamental right of our democracy. When you vote, you could be selecting Commissioners, voting on Referendums or Amendments to the City Charter. The Commission approves Ordinances and Resolutions; voter turnout determines what Referendums and Amendments pass. All of this with your participation will define how the City of Sarasota functions and how we live together.

Municipal government is involved in many aspects of our daily lives - from fixing roads, providing water and electricity, collecting garbage, supporting the arts, providing and maintaining sports venues and protecting our City's citizens. Make an informed choice and browse the City's website to learn about the issues facing the City of Sarasota and the City Commission's many areas of responsibilities.
