How it works
A square for questions a city could take up.
Count Our Voices is a civic room, not a campaign and not a news feed. People pose civic questions. People vote. The count is the product. For Florida’s November 3, 2026 election, the same room holds a ballot preview and a ledger of laws already decided. The rules explain what this is, and what it is not.
Watch the introduction — fifty seconds.
01
Read a question
Each one is a single civic decision, with a short note on the tradeoff. No pundit framing.
02
Cast a voice
For, against, or not sure. One account, one vote on each question. You can change it.
03
See the count
Tallies are public. The point is not to win a feed — it is to know where people actually stand.
The Florida ballot
Walk in more informed than the card in the booth lets you be. This is a preview, not your official ballot.
01
See who and what
Governor, Senate, Cabinet, three November amendments, and a Hillsborough example — with more than the 75-word summary in the booth.
02
Mark a practice ballot
Pre-select privately on this device. Nothing is sent to a county. Take it with you, or change it.
03
Read the ledger
Laws voters already passed or denied, plus 2026 bills that became law, died, or were vetoed. A mark there is not added to the official percentage.
Ground rules
Sign in to ask or vote on the square. The first time, you add your state, your Florida county if you live here, and an age range. That stays on your account. It is not shown next to your vote. One account, one vote on each question. A second email is still a second voice, so use the account that is yours. Do not post personal details. Every voice is in the full count. A second line shows verified voices only, and that line stays at 0 until an ID check is open.
Topics are economy, healthcare, government, constitutional integrity, immigration, public safety, fiscal responsibility, education, social safeguards, foreign policy, and technology.
The admin desk can take a question down and set the square back to zero voices. The word list blocks threats, sexual content involving minors, instructions for violent crime, doxxing, and slurs. It does not block a point of view. Debate the issue in plain language.
The practice ballot stays on this device. Nothing you mark there is sent to a county. On the 2026 ballot, For, Against, and Not sure stay at 0% until there is an official result. A tap does not change that. 2024 laws show the official yes and no percentages. The report card lists the president, vice president, governors, mayors of the 50 largest cities, and Congress. A vote there is only a voice on this site, and it starts at 0%. It is not an official rating. This is not your county ballot. Check your Supervisor of Elections for the card you will mark on November 3.
