Election 2026

The League of Women Voters of Lee County is hosting a free, public forum on Feb. 7, about a ballot referendum in the fall election that would change how county commission elections are decided and switch to a single-member district voting.

In an election, Feb. 3, Naples voters elected a former city councilmember and two newcomers to the Naples City Council from a pool of eight candidates. Ted Blankenship, John Krol, and Scott Schultz are set to be sworn in on Feb. 18.

Ahead of the Feb. 3, 2026, Naples City Council election, the League of Women Voters of Collier Council organized a candidate forum for all eight candidates seeking three open seats on the council. We’ll hear a condensed broadcast of the forum moderated by Naples Daily News Executive Editor Wendy Fullerton Powell and WGCU’s John Davis.
