Democrats,

It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours filled with mixed emotions since President Biden announced that he would not seek reelection and endorsed Kamala Harris for President. In response, the Florida Democratic Party thanked President Biden for a lifetime of service and 3.5 years of accomplishments as President.

The only way we win in November is if we are united. I am proud to stand with party leaders, elected officials, and members of the Florida Delegation to pledge support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential run. Florida is one of the largest convention delegations with 254 votes and the largest battleground delegation. With an overwhelming majority of delegates signing on in less than 24 hours to pledge support for Vice President Harris, we are proud to support Kamala Harris as our next Democratic nominee. 

Florida Democrats, there are just over 100 days to finish the job — and while the state of the race has changed, our mission has not. We must continue knocking on doors, calling voters and organizing on the ground to send Kamala Harris back to the White House and defeat Donald Trump in November. 

See below to join us this weekend for events across the state as we mark 100 days out from Election Day. 

In solidarity,

Please ensure you & your tool users are submitting all questions, inquiries, and requests to the data team using our Data Support Ticket for the quickest resolution. Users should not be utilizing the support request function within VAN, this is old & outdated, and unfortunately does not always work properly.

VAN Updates

NEW: All VBM data is being updated in the Early Voting module in VAN Create a List on a daily basis before 10am. This is how the FDP recommends pulling VBM data from VAN for the most up to date, granular counts:

• NEW: VAN admins can now request a District Dashboard via our Data Ticket that breaks down voter registration & key demographics in your district in an easy-to-digest format. It also allows you to easily compare 2 districts/counties/precincts. This dashboard is based on your geographical VAN access (ie; you will not receive statewide breakdowns unless your VAN access is statewide). Chartered DECs, clubs, & caucuses can access this dashboard for free, & democratic campaigns and organizations can purchase it for the cycle for a one-time $25 fee.

• UPDATE: The latest monthly voter file update went live in VAN on June 25th. VAN is now current with the voter file through 5/31/24. We received the latest monthly file (through June 30th, 2024) from the Division of Elections on July 21st & have pushed it to the DNC for processing.

• Our 2024 Data Hub houses all of our important data documents, resources, & training links.
