Alachua Voter Guide

In what will be a bitter pill for Gainesville City Commissioners, the Supervisor of Elections plans to certify the petition count results that will allow a charter amendment on the ballot that overturns the city’s new provisions that allow anyone to use any public restroom based on an inner sense of their own sexuality. The city must hold a special election not less than 90 days after certification, and that date is not yet known. It would be most logical, and cost effective, to hold it on the same day as the 2009 city elections.

The certification will be announced Monday, August 18th, at that day’s Gainesville City Commission meeting. Details will follow.
