In a little more than a month, the next mayor of Jacksonville will be chosen.
Election day is May 16, but already votes are coming in at higher numbers than in the first election in March.
Anyone who wants to vote in the runoff election Monday at midnight is the deadline to register to vote if you’re not currently registered. News4JAX was out talking to voters and to the supervisor of elections on Friday about what is already taking place.Election workers are already opening them up and to make sure that the signatures match what’s on file. Only 15 are in question as of Friday and those voters will be notified that there could be a problem.Hogan expects more voters than the county had in March and that will have an impact on this election.
In March, the county saw more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail. So far this time, the two parties are voting in equal numbers. But the big test will be on election day.Like Argentina, who said she wanted to vote in March but it just didn’t happen.“We need somebody that can really take a hold of the city,” said Anthony Chavis.
The registration deadline is Monday and you can do it online until midnight or in person downtown until 5 p.m.Copyright 2023 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
