186 precincts have to be set up, poll workers who spoke with News4JAX said they’re optimistic about the election.
“I’m excited, I’m hoping it will be a great time,” Velma Rounsville said. “I’m a little disappointed in how people have been turning out, and I just hope there is a great turnout on election day. That’s what I hope for.” On Monday, Supervisor of Elections, Mike Hogan, talked about voter turnout. “Right now I’m thinking maybe 25 to 30 [percent].” When asked if the low turnout was a disappointment, Hogan said, “Well it is for me. I think everybody should vote, it’s a responsibility. As a citizen, it’s your job.”Election workers will review some of the vote by mail ballots to determine ones that had problems and look at the voter intent.
Betty McKim said, “I’m hoping for a steady day and we get a good group of people, and we have a very patriotic group that comes to our precinct. We have a good time interacting with the community.” Vote-by-mail ballots must be in by Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Polls open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 7:00 p.m.
