After months of campaigning and an avalanche of advertising, Election Day has arrived.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. Anyone who is registered can vote, regardless of party affiliation.
The brightest lights are focused on Jacksonville's mayoral race, but more than a dozen seats are contested in Duval County, including City Council seats and the property appraiser.
Jacksonville Today has voter guides on all the candidates. There's also a quiz to see which mayoral candidates line up with your views.
A total of 91,847 people voted before today in Duval County, by mail or in person during early voting. More than 8,800 had gone to the polls by 9:30 this morning. Turnout totaled 15%, a relatively small percentage.
To vote today, you must go to your assigned precinct. You'll need a valid photo and signature ID. If you don't have it with you, you can cast a provisional ballot.
Duval voters can find their voting place here. In other counties, check with your supervisor of elections. Here's a list of those offices.
To win today, a Duval candidate must receive more than 50% of the vote. If no one does, the top two finishers in a race will advance to a runoff May 16.
