Early voting is underway this week and turnout in this midterm election is expected to be higher than usual because voters in Jacksonville are choosing their next sheriff.
Five candidates — four Democrats and one Republican — are vying to fill the Jacksonville sheriff’s seat, following Mike Williams’ resignation this summer. All Duval voters can vote in the August sheriff’s race, regardless of party affiliation.
Unless one candidate gets more than half of the vote in August’s special election, there will be a runoff election between the top two candidates on Nov. 8.
