Redistricting of Council districts is required every 10 years in conjunction with the latest US Census to assure that all 7 Council districts are roughly equal in permanent population.
The Village contracted Kurt Spitzer and Associates Governmental Consultants of Tallahassee to provide technical support to the redistricting effort. The new district boundary map is shown above and will be implemented at the time of the next Village general election on March 7, 2023.
The Village is asking residents from Districts 3, 4, 5 and 7 to consider becoming a candidate for a four-year term Council position. To qualify, a candidate must have lived in the district they wish to represent for a minimum of one year. Here is a link to a map which shows the March 7, 2023 updated districts within the Village of Estero.
To avoid a filing fee, candidates may start collecting signatures of support from friends and neighbors once they have filed with the Lee County Supervisor of Elections Office. Candidates need to supply their Candidate Petition Form by December 14, 2022.
Here is a link to the Lee County elections website that is dedicated to providing all necessary information for candidates from the Village of Estero.
For additional questions, residents may contact Village Clerk Carol Sacco at 239-221-5035 or sacco@estero-fl.gov
