Orlando, Fla. — All Voting is Local Action and a coalition of nonpartisan civic engagement organizations are hosting a press conference at the Seminole County Services Building in Sanford on Tuesday, May 28, at 8:30 a.m. ET to urge Seminole County Commissioners to fund paid postage on mail-in ballots. This small step from the county would make a huge difference in encouraging people to vote and remove the burden on voters having to find and pay for stamps.

The group of voting rights advocates will invite members of the press and public to join them to advocate for paid postage on mail-in ballots.
