Early voting ended on a positive note Sunday.
Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland says some 8,000 people cast ballots Sunday, which bodes well for overall turnout in the March primary election.
"We’ve already had about 26,000 more people vote in this election than the same time four years ago," Holland said. "We’re hoping right now we exceed the 29 percent last time. That would only take us about 75,000 more voters, which we think that’s very doable."
Holland anticipates overall voter turnout will be between 32 and 35 percent — possibly higher, given the early voting numbers.
Election Day is Tuesday.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Holland says to find your polling place, go to duvalelections.com.
To win outright, a candidate must get 50 percent of the vote plus 1 to win.
In races where there are three or more candidates, and no one wins outright, the top two vote-getters will go on to face each other in the May 15 general election.
