Vote 2023: Early voting percentage increases slightly as election day draws near

It appears voter turnout for the Jacksonville city election is going to be low. As of Friday, early voting and mail-in voting stands at 11%.

On St. Patrick’s Day, the Regency Branch Library had a steady stream of early voters, but not a lot. The concern is that turnout may not get any better this weekend because bad weather could keep people from going to the polls.
