Panel participants included Renaldo Horn of the Urban League, Tanaine Jenkins of Reform Alliance, Jerry Holland, the Supervisor of Elections, Mone’ Holder of Florida Rising, and Lanelle Phillmon of The League of Women Voters. The information shared by the presenters helped those on the call learn more about the voting process and the importance of voting.

The moderators, Al Pete and Tia Leathers introduced the presenters and gave a brief bio of each speaker. Each participant shared the goals and purpose of their organization and how their activities impact the community. Their information was helpful to all on the call, as each person could share their information with others.

Early voting has started, sites are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. It was suggested that voting early would be very helpful in this election, as it would eliminate long lines on election day.
