Election Day is right around the corner. As we prepare, I often reflect on how thankful I am to each and every poll worker and our community partners who assist in keeping “democracy” alive and well in Levy County. Many thanks for all you do!
With the presidential contest in play, the Elections office is preparing for an overall 80% turnout in November. In addition to the President of the United States, your Congressional, Senate, judicial retention and 4 constitutional amendments will be included on your ballot. You will not see any county races on your ballot as they were decided in the August Primary Election.

You no longer need to cite a reason to receive one. Simply contact the Elections office and request a ballot, which is mailed approximately a month before the election. You can track your ballot at www.VoteLevy.com, to find out when it is received.
