Off-year voting dilutes minority and young voter influence.

Decide the Date Sarasota is a petition initiative to place the question of when to have city elections on the ballot. I am chairing this initiative because I believe that more people who vote, the more representative government you will get.

This is a single issue that has never been put forward to the electorate. It is significant in terms of outcomes and cost, and the electorate deserves the opportunity to weigh in.
