My PROMISE as SOE
The Supervisor of Elections in Florida is a County level office, assigned the stutory duties to register voters and to conduct elections. These duties are strictly defined by statute, yet there remains a wide latitude for the performance of these duties.
As your Supervisor of Elections in Lake County, I promise to do the following:
- closely monitor the work of VR systems, including website management, election night reporting, and campaign finance reporting
- audit the financial records of the last eight years of the SOE office
publicly post the budget of the SOE office - hand count ballots
- ensure the security and accuracy of all the computers used in our election systems
- encourage the maximum amount of poll watchers – from all parties, all candidates and all citizens
- encourage citizens s to participate in the operations and duties of the SOE
- encourage all Political Parties to participate as poll workers
- be as open as possible with answers to public records requests
- provide answers to public records requests at the minimum possible cost, and FREE whenever possible
- improve hiring, training, staffing
- improve public outreach, notifying citizens of election information and election law
- clean the voter registration rolls using every possible resource
- monitor every new voter registration for accuracy and eligibility
- pay for FSE dues and event attendance with personal money, rather than taxpayer funds
