Three seats are up for election every two years on the St Augustine City Commission. In presidential election years, like this, it is Seats 1, 2, and 3 (the mayor). In the mid-term years, it is Seats 3 (the mayor), 4, and 5. Commissioners serve four-year terms and the mayor serves a two-year term.

I just received my voting ballot by mail. The ballot was printed wrong, so, I am just letting you know in case you would like to notify your readers.

Write-in candidates should not close Primary Elections

There is a reason that Florida election laws restrict voting to “party members only” in Primary Elections.  In layman’s terms, it’s to keep scoundrels from opposing political parties from selecting a ringer that they think they can defeat in the General Election.
