St. Johns County Election News and Updates April 2024

Good morning St. Johns County voters,

On April 4, the St. Johns County Canvassing Board met to conduct the Post-Election Audit for the 2024 Presidential Preference Primary Election. This was the first audit conducted using our new Clear Ballot ClearAudit system and was completed with 99.996% accuracy!

In 2023, the Florida Division of Elections approved the Clear Ballot ClearAudit system. This system provides a 100% audit independent from our tabulation system, giving voters increased confidence in St. Johns County election results.

The audit was completed with 99.996% accuracy due to a poll worker error. A ballot jam on Election Day resulted in a ballot accidentally run through the DS200 scanner twice. This error will be addressed in our next session of Poll Worker Training for the 2024 Primary Election in August. This was the only discrepancy encountered during the election!

18.65% of the eligible 127,497 St. Johns County voters cast their ballots in the 2024 Presidential Preference Primary Election. The next election to take place in St. Johns County is the upcoming Primary Election on August 20, 2024. Preparations have already begun, with two poll worker orientations completed in April.

This month, I also re-opened the Elections Office to public office tours. Available tour dates include:

Thursday, May 9 from 2 PM to 4 PM
Friday, May 17 from 10 AM to 12 PM
Wednesday, May 29 from 2 PM to 4 PM

To schedule a tour, visit www.votesjc.gov/office-tours or call the Elections Office at 904-823-2238.

The Voter Outreach Team and I have also made a return to attending community events! Events are always posted on our social media, I encourage you to follow along on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn to stay up to date with the Elections Office happenings!

I look forward to seeing you all out in the community. Please feel free to reach out to the Elections Office with any questions, we are here to serve you. The Elections Office is open Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5 PM.
