IMPORTANT INFO 🗳 Duval County elections officials said voters can get answers to their questions from the Duval County Elections Center by calling 904-255-8683.

Phillips said all polling locations opened on time Tuesday, and the busiest times are typically early in the morning and then in the evening from 5-7 p.m. He suggested going midday, if possible, but reminded voters that they must vote at their correct precinct on Election Day.

“We don’t want anyone to be alarmed about that. It is just a machine. Sometimes the internal components of the machine will break down. But we do have procedures for that,” Phillips explained.And those who had to put their ballot into the secure emergency slot can return at 7 p.m. to watch their ballot being fed into the fixed machine.

He acknowledged recent concerns of voter fraud and said that’s why he wanted to reassure voters because he understands the public perception about the procedure might be wrong.
