Seminole County elections office unveils redesigned voter information website

Seminole County voters now have a redesigned elections website that puts the most-used tools closer to the top, including voter registration checks, vote-by-mail requests, voter status checks, polling-place lookup and election dates. Supervisor of Elections Amy Pennock said the overhaul was meant to make essential information easier to find as deadlines approach, when confusion and call volume usually rise.

The new site uses a cleaner layout, simpler navigation and a mobile-friendly design, a change that matters in a county where many residents now check election information on a phone instead of a desktop computer. It also adds an improved elections calendar, accessibility features and refreshed resources for candidates, election workers and voters. The practical goal is straightforward: give Seminole County residents faster access to the information they need before they head to the polls or request a mail ballot.

The redesign also fits into a wider push by Pennock’s office to modernize how it communicates with voters. Pennock launched TextMyGov on March 11, 2025, to expand voter communication, and the office held its inaugural Voter Advocacy Workgroup on Sept. 16, 2025. That group brought together representatives from the NAACP, League of Women Voters, Americans for Prosperity, Turning Point USA, Florida Debate Initiative, Seminole County Chamber, Hispanic Chamber of Metro Orlando, African American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida, and the Seminole County Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties to identify barriers to voting and practical fixes.

Pennock’s election materials describe her as a forensic accountant and longtime public servant. She holds master’s degrees in business administration and forensic accounting, is certified as both a Fraud Examiner and an Internal Controls Auditor, and served on the Seminole County School Board from 2018 to 2024. Pennock and her family have lived in Seminole County since 2009.

The elections office is at 1500 E. Airport Blvd. in Sanford, and the Florida Division of Elections lists 407-585-8683 as the office phone number. Pennock’s 2026 election-readiness materials direct voters to VoteSeminole.gov or 407-585-VOTE, 8683, for trusted information, deadlines and updates, as the county continues publishing multilingual and voter-preparation resources for 2026.
