Just hours after Democrat Donna Deegan and Republican Daniel Davis took the top two spots in a 7-way race...the two campaigns are off and running.

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.

The polls have closed in Duval County’s election.

Poll workers were busy at the election center Monday, setting up for voters to elect the next mayor and city council members in Jacksonville. Early voting brought in about 13.8% of registered voters in Duval County.

Early voting continues ahead of Jacksonville's March 21st city elections for mayor, property appraiser, and city council.

It appears voter turnout for the Jacksonville city election is going to be low. As of Friday, early voting and mail-in voting stands at 11%.

Jacksonville voters have until Sunday, March 19, to cast their ballot at any one of the 20 early voting locations around Duval County. Election day is Tuesday, March 21. There is no early voting on the Monday before the election.

As vote-by-mail ballots come in for Jacksonville’s city elections some may not count, because of mistakes.
