Sample ballots mailed, emailed to Duval County voters ahead of election

The Duval County Supervisor of Elections started sending sample ballots to voters on Monday.

All 569,656 registered voters should check their mailboxes for sample ballots for the primary election.

Also, 94,151 voters should check their emails for their sample ballots since they chose to receive them electronically.

Florida is a closed Primary state, which means that only voters registered within a political party may vote in that party’s Primary Election. However, regardless of party affiliation, all Duval County voters have something to cast ballots for during the Primary, including non-partisan races like judges and school board members.
