Despite federal ruling, Jacksonville college campuses won’t have early voting this year

Duval County Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan closed the door on the possibility of opening early voting sites on college campuses for the 2018 elections.

This week, a federal judge ruled that the state could not bar elections supervisors from hosting early voting on college campuses. Already, supervisors in other counties have said they plan to open early voting sites in time for November.

Alachua and Hillsborough county’s elections supervisors have already said they intend to host early voting at the University of Florida and the University of South Florida, and Leon County’s supervisor said he wasn’t ruling the possibility out at Tallahassee’s colleges.

But Hogan said there are no plans to open up early voting at the University of North Florida or Florida State College at Jacksonville.

Offer transportation to closest early voting site, or encourage students to vote by mail. Hoyt Jul 2018 #2

The Republicans in charge have made sure those are our only choice csziggy Jul 2018 #3

That's not what court decision said, and it's very easy to vote early. I bet there is Hoyt Jul 2018 #4

Early voting starts in just weeks so the logistics are difficult csziggy Jul 2018 #5

So mail in your ballot if on that campus, or walk down the street. Get everyone to do Hoyt Jul 2018 #6
