Expect most of the news and stories coming out of The Villages for the next couple of weeks to be dominated by the election coming up on November 4th. While the Presidential election is important for our country, there are also some important local elections in The Villages that residents, and folks thinking about moving to The Villages, should pay attention to.
Early voting starts on Monday and runs until November 1st. After that you’ll have to wait in line like everybody else on November 4th. For some Villagers though, this can be part of the fun. A great big get together on the most important day for our nation every 4 years. And we know Villagers love their politics.
As I mentioned there are some important local elections for The Villages. None perhaps more important to Villagers present and future than the Amenity Authority election. There is a five person board called the Amenity Authority Committee and they are responsible for deciding how the money you pay in amenity fees will be spent each year. Note that currently this only affects Villagers living in Districts 1-4 North of CR 466. Also, there is a special polling place you have to go to to vote in this election, which is rather inconvenient but its important that you do in fact vote.
There are 16 candidates up for the 5 positions. You can read more about The Villages Amenity Authority Committee election here. There is information on othe Villages Community Development District elections here.
The Villages Vintage Car Club show is coming up on Friday, October 24th. This will take place at Lake Sumter Landing Market Square and will feature more than 50 classic cars on display. For more information visit their website here.
