JEFFERSON COUNTY, FL (WTXL) — Early voting is underway in Jefferson County, and two contested school board races are on the primary ballot ahead of the Aug. 18 Primary Election. Poll workers must receive those ballots by the time polls close on Election Day for those votes to count. Residents can also vote in person on Election Day, Aug. 18. Jefferson County Supervisor of Elections Michelle Milligan, who is overseeing her first midterm election since being elected to the role, says making voting accessible starts with educating voters. County data shows more than 550 people in Jefferson County have already voted in the primary election.
