Alachua County voters will be asked in November to vote up or down a one-cent sales tax to fund “Wild Spaces and Public Places.” If approved by a majority of voters, the tax would replace a similar half-cent taxes tax used to fund road repairs, park renovations, affordable housing and additional fire stations for the county.

Alachua County voters are being asked to amend the county charter relating to how Alachua County commissioners are elected -- changing from at-large districts, where all five commissioners are elected by all county voters, to what are called single-member districts -- where each citizen only votes for the one commissioner representing the district in which they live.
