The city of High Springs, in Alachua County, is governed by a five-member commission, with each member serving a three-year term. This year, two of the seats are up for election. These races are non-partisan.
In addition to the two commission seats, High Springs voters will make decisions on four proposed charter amendments. The commission voted to put the proposals on the ballot, following the work of a charter review committee earlier this year.
