Sarasota city voters will soon decide whether city elections should be held in November instead in the spring.
Sarasota City Commissioners voted 3-2 Monday to place a referendum on the ballot this November which would reschedule future elections for Sarasota City Commission to be held in even-numbered years, concurrent with presidential or gubernatorial elections. Mayor Willie Shaw and Commissioner Susan Chapman voted against the action.
Supporters of the action say moving the election will increase turnout, while opponents fear city issues will be minimized as voters focus more attention of federal, state and county elections happening at the same time.
