Votivist is an ALL VOLUNTEER organization. We are fortunate to have recruited talented staff to effectively support, and mobilize our outstanding volunteers an we are growing!

Barbara Tyson

Founder, Executive Director

For the past eight years, I have worked to educate and register Florida citizens about their right to vote. I have seen first-hand the widespread confusion regarding what’s on the ballot and how, when, and where to vote. In 2021, volunteers came together to develop a program to provide communities with localized, fact-based voting information. Votivist launched in 2022 as a permanent educational campaign to mobilize volunteers and build community leadership to help voters navigate the rules and cast their vote. Votivist communications are designed to support and encourage voting among new and infrequent voters. Florida citizens deserve simple, verified voting resources and easy ballot access to make their voice heard.

Sean Parker

DEPUTY DIRECTOR
I am a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity; Inc. Voter education became my passion in 2000. I began registering people to vote in 2006 and I have been doing it every since. As a charge from my fraternity brother, the late, great congressman, Honorable Bro. John Lewis, who devoted his life to racial justice, equality, and voter activism, he once stated, “Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” I take Voter education as serious as he did and my passion is to educate my community.
