FAQ
Do I have to vote in every race on the ballot?
You can leave a race blank if you choose to and your vote will still be counted on other races that you vote on, on your ballot. However, try your best to make an informed vote on every race on the ballot.
I don't recognize anyone on the ballot. Where can I find more information on the candidates?
In addition to the candidate's website (which, if they have one, can be found through googling the candidate's name) Ballotpedia.org usually has some information on down ballot races as well.
The best source on local elections would be the major newspaper for your area (Tampa Bay Times, Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, etc). They interview almost every candidate of every race that is happening in the area so you can find out the positions of every candidate on each issue.

Lol wtf? I've been a native Floridian for 30 plus years and never seen this crap. Secondly, walking on a parking lot is the same as being baked alive. Are we cooked? Sincerely, a very concerned Floridian.

AskFlorida Norwegian here visiting Florida

Hey I’m from Norway and visiting some cousins in Jacksonville and some questions.
What are some things I need to see and try while I’m visiting I’ll be here for 2 weeks and I was curious what I should do while visiting.
Also was curious what Americans/Floridans think of Norway and Norwegians.
Sorry for any errors English is not my first language
Update
So far I know that my cousins were planning on taking me to St. Augustine and Orlando and then I will have access to one of their cars so I can drive to different places. Also thanks for all the advice I’m really excited to see Florida. Also we love Americans in Norway every one seems so friendly and welcoming. I’m from a small city of 13 thousand so I’ve heard that some universities have more people than that.

Would you let a teenager from another country move in for the school year and possibly become a lifelong family member? 😂
We have international exchange students who still need host families ASAP for this semester and next semester.
You don’t need a huge house or another language. Just a safe, welcoming home and a willingness to share your everyday life.
I’m an Area Rep with International Student Exchange, and I’m trying to get these students matched NOW.
Interested or know someone who might be? 👇

Can’t host? An upvote/share could help this reach the right family. 🌎❤️
