Jacksonville residents ready to cast their ballots for city elections headed to the polls Tuesday to elect the next mayor and new city council members.
Election officials hoped turnout would increase on election day as early voting only brought in just shy of 14% of registered voters in Duval County. However, three hours before polls were set to close, turnout crept up to about 20%.
Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan predicted a 25 to 30% turnout when News4JAX spoke with him Monday, but when we talked with him Tuesday, he said he was disappointed by the outcome. At the Adele Garage Cultural Center in Atlantic Beach, voters were making their way to the polls. Election workers said there were a few dozen voters per hour. The crowd consisted of a lot of retirement-age voters.
“There’s really no way to get an effective snapshot of how someone will represent you unless you do your homework and really delve into it,” Suzanna Shaughnessy said. “That’s why soundbite ads are not something that appeals to me.”
