2020 Virtual Straw Poll

Welcome to 2020 the Osceola Chamber Virtual Straw Poll! We are excited to use the tools afforded to us by technology to offer voter education in accordance with our non-partisan status and our mission statement of being “Champions for Business and Community.”

Not intended to be an official or formal poll, the straw poll is a fun way to see which candidates have momentum as we head toward the November 3 election.  We were thrilled to receive over 14,000 votes for our Primary Straw Poll, the results of which are available on our Facebook page. You can see the results of the actual August 18 primary below.  Some races have now come to a close, and we congratulate the winners!  Ongoing contests that will appear on the November 3rd ballot are reflected on this page below.

1. Soon we will retool our straw poll so that you many once again vote leading into the November 3 election for the candidates who remain in the running.
2. We have retooled out straw poll so that now until November 1 at 5 PM, the poll will be open for you to vote once per race, per ISP address, per 24-hour period! That means you can vote for your favorite candidate in each race every day! In addition, you have the opportunity to purchase additional vote packages to show your candidates of choice some extra love. On November 2 we will announce the winners of our straw poll on our social media.

Be sure to view the candidate statement videos to learn more about the candidates before casting your votes on November 3rd. Please note that all candidates in each race were invited to record a video, but some declined the offer.

Happy Voting!
