Important Message to Voter
Dear Duval County Voter:
The 2014 Duval Primary election was truly a civics lesson. We conducted two recounts – in a statehouse race that
came down to TWO votes and a school board race for second place and the run-off came down to FOUR votes.
Don’t let anyone say that an individual vote doesn’t count. The candidates in these two races know differently!
In order to minimize the cost to the taxpayers, we are mailing sample ballots to households and not to individual
voters. We ask you to share this sample with all the registered voters in your household.
The General ballot is two sided. The constitutional amendments appear on side two. The municipal elections of
Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach also appear on side two. Please vote both sides of your ballot. Due to
the length of the ballot, we anticipate some waiting at the polls. We encourage voters to vote early or by absentee.
Please use this sample ballot to study the amendments and visit the following website links for additional information
about them:
http://tinyurl.com/2014-Initiatives and
http://tinyurl.com/2014-Amendment-Booklet
As a service to voters, we are including statements submitted by the local candidates who appear on your ballot.
Please note: Your sample ballot is not an absentee ballot. Do not mail it back. We strongly suggest that you
use it as a guide for filling out your actual ballot. Feel free to bring it with you to the polls.
If you have any questions about your ballot, polling location, voting by mail or anything else, give us a call at (904)
630-1414 and we will assist you. Remember, this is your opportunity to make your voice be heard. Please, VOTE!
Sincerely,
Jerry Holland
