Voter Registration at Liberty Park
Pet Patrol
To all friends and neighbors here in Citrus County, Happy 4th of July! As we cel-
ebrate Independence Day this year we are focused on one of the most fought for right that
we have-the right to vote!
The League of Women Voters wants everyone to exercise this right remembering it
was hard fought for and hard won. We encourage you to get out and learn what this year's
election is all about, who the candidates are, where to vote, and when to vote.
Our effort this year has been to assist anyone who wants to register to vote by pro-
viding the forms and information needed to do so. Anyone needing to change their address,
or has a name change, or party affiliation, or signature change can do so at our registration
drives. If you need to request an Absentee Ballot, we have the forms and will help you com-
plete them.
We will continue to do our register drives at the Crystal River Mall on the 2nd and
4th Saturdays of the month through September and at the Daystar location in Crystal River
on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays through July only. We will be happy to help you with the
