January Update From Your SOE

A message from your Supervisor of Elections

Now that the historic Presidential election chapter has closed, we have begun preparing for the next election cycle: 2017 Municipal Elections. Qualifying had ended and the candidate names have been certified by the City Clerks. The City of Bunnell and City of Flagler Beach have a contested race for City Commission. The incumbents in the Town of Beverly Beach were unopposed and therefore, an election will not be necessary for Beverly Beach this year.

This year will action-packed as we continue to build and improve your Elections Office. The new voting system will be installed in April 2017 and you should expect to hear more about a Mock Election and Open House in June 2017.

Although we are installing a new system, your method of voting by paper ballot will remain the same. The equipment will be upgraded in time for the 2018 Gubernatorial election cycle, well ahead of the state mandate to upgrade by 2020.

Flagler County Supervisor of Elections
