Supervisor of Elections
The primary election is Aug. 30 – only a month away. The primary will be open to all registered voters in St. Johns County.
Aug. 1 is the last day to register to vote or make party changes for the primary election. Voter registration applications are available on-line at www.votesjc.com and must be printed, signed and postmarked by Aug. 1 for the primary election for new registrations and party changes. Address changes can be made at any time: Simply call the office to update your address or use the online form. You can also register to vote or submit voter registration applications at any public library or the tax collector’s office located at the annexes.
It is very important to keep your information updated with the Elections Office in order to receive your sample ballots prior to each election. Remember you can use the Voter Lookup on our website to verify your voter registration, check your address, request a vote-by-mail ballot, locate your polling place and view your sample ballot.
St. Johns County voters have been affected by the redistricting court cases. Voters in the north part of the county are now in Congressional District 4, and state Senate District 7. Florida House District 17 was not changed. You will see candidates for these new districts in the primary. Prior to the election, all voters will receive a sample ballot based on their party affiliation and precinct.
Many important races will appear on the ballot in the primary this year, including U.S. Senate and U.S. Congress. In addition, local races include sheriff, clerk of court and comptroller, property appraiser, plus three county commissioners and school board member, District 2. There are also a number of circuit judge races on the ballot, along with a constitutional amendment.
