    Dr. Linsey Grove and Lisa Yacso discuss the elected offices on your ballot, what they do, and how they impact issues important to our community. NOTE: We stated that the school board and county commission have different districts. The correct statement is that there are different rules relating to school board and county commission candidates/elected officials and where they live/whether they must continue to live there. Source: https://www.votepinellas.com/Election-Information/Maps/District-Maps (https://www.votepinellas.com/Election-Information/Maps/District-Maps)  Want more information about voting in your county?
