A Message from Alan Hays

Lake County's Supervisor of Elections

As we bid Thanksgiving goodbye, for many of us, our focus turns to Christmas; food, family events, and gifts!!

The holiday season always brings many emotions to the forefront of our minds and I'd like us to reflect for a moment on the gifts and blessings that are ours as Americans. How did we come to be so abundantly blessed?

I and many other Americans count it a true blessing to have been born in this great country. Across the globe there our countless others that yearn to come here and become American citizens.

Our forefathers gifted us with a tremendous system of government through our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. Those two documents, taken together, serve as the foundation of our Republic. The Declaration states each of us are created equal, endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The founders created the government to protect those rights so that no one can take them away. The government did NOT give those rights to us, they came from our Creator, therefore no one should be taking them from us.

Here we are, 247 years after the Declaration of Independence, still enjoying the privilege of voting to choose our government leaders. May we NEVER forget the sacrifices those founders made to insure our liberty!! Let's devote ourselves to become informed about the candidates and issues as a way to demonstrate our appreciation for the gifts the founding fathers gave us.

From our SOE team to you and your family, may you have a wonderful holiday season including a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Update From the Elections Office (Polling Place Changes)

February 12, 2020

In preparation for the March 17, 2020 Presidential Preference Primary (PPP) election, Alan Hays, Lake County Supervisor of Elections, is pleased to announce the addition of one new Early Voting site and a change in the Mt. Dora Early Voting site. Hays commented, “We hate to make changes, but at times there are circumstances that make it necessary to change locations.”
The additional site is the Clermont Arts and Recreation Center. Early Voting in Mt. Dora will return to the W. T. Bland Library. Early voting will NOT be held at Lake Receptions this year.
There are also some changes in polling places for Election Day voting as well. The new locations are as follows:
• Precinct 7 – new location for Sullivan Ranch residents: 30450 Bretton Loop, Mt. Dora
• Precinct 11 – new polling location. Lady Lake Library, 225 W. Guava St. Lady Lake
• Precinct 21 – new polling location. Howey Community Church, 420 N. Palm Ave. Howey
• Precinct 44 – new polling location. Eustis Service Center, 301 W. Ward Ave. Eustis
• Precinct 49 – new polling location. Crossroads Church, 275 Griffin Ave. Lady Lake
• Precinct 93 – new polling location. Mt. Dora First Baptist Church, 1000 E. First Ave. Mt. Dora
In the March 17, 2020 Presidential Preference Primary election, Democrat and Republican voters in Florida will choose their party nominee for the Presidential Election in November. Everyone wishing to vote in either of the party primary elections must be registered as a member of that specific party no later than February 18, 2020.
All registered voters in Eustis and Groveland will be voting on additional items. Eustis voters will be choosing whether to approve or disapprove a referendum relating to building a new community center. Groveland voters will decide a race for city council membership.
Early Voting runs from March 5-14, 2020. The hours are 10 am – 6 pm. The 11 locations of early voting are easily available on our website, www.LakeVotes.com, or citizens are welcome to call us at 352-343-9734 for directions.
Voters impacted by these precinct/polling place changes were mailed updated voter information cards denoting their new polling place location. Polls are open from 7 am to 7 pm on Election Day, and signage will be noted at the old polling location sites directing voters to the new locations. Voters can also visit the Lake County Supervisor of Elections website (www.LakeVotes.com) and click the Where Do I Vote tab for up-to-date precinct and polling location information.
