The 2022 election season is officially underway! Candidate qualifying ended June 17, the Primary Election ballot is finalized, and the election is scheduled for August 23. I encourage all St. Johns County voters to keep an eye on their mailbox as new voter information cards will be in the mail soon. Please review your card carefully as some precincts and voting locations have changed.

Vote-by-mail ballots will also be mailed in the coming weeks to those who have requested to participate in the election from home, and they will be followed by sample ballots mailed to every registered voter. In addition, early voting dates and locations have been released. Please visit www.votesjc.gov and watch our social media for updates as we get closer to Election Day. 

I presented my Fiscal Year 2023 Budget and the St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections 2022-2026 Five Year Strategic Plan to the Board of County Commissioners this month. We’re working closely with the Commission to ensure we are responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars while we also respond to the County’s population growth and service needs. Providing safe, reliable elections in adequate facilities will remain a priority for us as we prepare for elections well into the future.

Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Please feel free to let us know if there are any specific election-related topics you would like for us to cover in the future. Operating in complete transparency and ensuring St. Johns County voters have access to all information necessary to participate in an election remains a principle in our day-to day business. Enjoy your summer!

Sincerely,

Vicky Oakes

St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections

New Voter Information Cards on the Way July 5-8, 2022

New voter information cards will be mailed to all registered St. Johns County voters July 5-8. The new cards replace any past cards. All voters are advised to review the new cards carefully to determine if their precincts or Election Day polling places have changed. When voting in person, you do not need to bring your card. Instead, you must present current and valid photo and signature ID or you must vote a provisional ballot.

Supervisor of Elections Hosts Secretary of State 

The St. Johns County Supervisor of Elections Office had a very special visitor this month!

We were honored to host Secretary of State Cord Byrd who took time out of his busy schedule to stop by the office to meet our staff and learn about our process for holding safe, secure, and transparent elections. 

Secretary Byrd was appointed by the Governor and assumed office on May 17, 2022. We were honored to have such a visit so early in his term and look forward to working with him for the duration of his tenure.
