Early voting begins in Duval County

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Early voting opens this morning in Duval County for local primary elections.

There are plenty of judges, school board members and state representatives up for primary election.

Some voters already got a head start in parts of Northeast Florida. Putnam County’s early voting has been open since Monday, which is when Duval County’s early voting was supposed to open, but it was postponed due to Tropical Storm Debby.

There are 24 early voting locations in Duval County. Nassau County also starts early voting this morning at 9 a.m., and St. Johns County starts Saturday.

For those too busy to get to the polls, absentee ballots are always an option. Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland encourages voters who can’t get to the polls to take advantage of those mail-in ballots, adding that they’ll be as safe as in-person voting.

“We pay for the postage here in Duval County if you want to put it in your mailbox, but if you feel more secure, bring it and drop it off,” Holland explained.

Holland also told Action News Jax in June that there would be longer lines due to an expected decrease in mail-in voting so plan accordingly.

Poll open at 10 a.m.
