Duval County Elections Supervisor Mike Hogan has been disappointed by the low turnout among early and mail-in voters in the runoff elections for five Jacksonville City Council races.
Two weeks of early voting ended Sunday, with Tuesday being Election Day.
“Right now we’re at 8.9% turnout - so that’s 54,000 votes. If we get another 24,000 -plus, that will bring us up another four points. We may get to 14-or-15% before this is all over. And we were thinking 9-to-11 [%],” said Hogan on Monday.
The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
Hogan reminds voters they must cast their ballots at their assigned precinct location. A sample ballot for each voters’ address and a precinct finder are available in the WJCT Voters’ Guide.
