Teresa Stohs headshot 200x250NOTES FROM THE PRESIDENT
We’ve been experiencing frequent heat advisories. I recently took a trip to St. Louis, Mo., and it was hotter there than in Florida. Things are heating up in the Primary also. As August 18th approaches, many of us are overwhelmed with texts and emails asking for money. Political ads proliferate the airways. It’s hard to sort through the information, misinformation, and disinformation. Now with AI, we can’t even believe what we see and hear. Our job at the League of Women Voters is to provide accurate voting information and education, and, most of all, to Get Out The Vote! I am grateful to each of you for your help and support.



Volunteer to observe the Canvassing Board for the 2026  Collier County Primary Election. At an open public meeting, the Canvassing Board conducts the Logic and Accuracy test of ballot processing and voting machines, reviews Vote-by-Mail (VBM) and provisional ballots, certifies the official results of the election and observes the manual audit of precinct/race. This is an important League service in supporting our mission of free and fair elections, with interesting people who care about election security. Volunteers are needed for the following dates and times:

  • Monday, August 17, 9;00-11:00 (Review of Vote-by-Mail ballots)
  • Tuesday, August 18, 5:00-8:00 (Review mail-in-ballots and preliminary returns)
  • Friday, August 21, 9:00-11:00 (Review of mail-in-ballots & 1st unofficial results)
  • Wednesday, August 26, 9:00-11:00 (Certification of results and selection of precinct for manual audit)
  • Wednesday, September 2, 9:00-11:00 (Manual Audit)
The meetings will be held at the office of the Supervisor of Elections, 3750 Enterprise Avenue, Naples, 34104. If you can observe one or more meetings, volunteer observers will receive background information to familiarize them with this interesting and important task.
