Voice of the Voter

ABC Action News is launching a new initiative that starts in the Tampa Bay area and then expands statewide. Our anchors and reporters will be in your community, learning about the issues that matter to you.

It’s not about who you’re voting for but getting your voice on what’s driving you to the polls this November.

We will start in local communities throughout the morning and evening from Sept. 9 through Sept. 13. In the following weeks, we will give you the voice of the voters across the state.
