And then you would do a roll call.

Yeah, everybody introduced themselves around the table.

Okay.

Um let's introduce ourselves, sir.

Um Ed Williams.

Gloria Einstein.

Random Russell Council Research.

Justin Jick Lone, Supervisor of Elections Office.

And we have two members of the public who have signed cards and will be speaking.

Okay, so first is April Hall Lloyd.

And state your name and address for the record, please.

Just make sure to push the button on there.

Good afternoon.

My name is April Hall Lloyd.

My address is on file.

I am here to speak about the Duval County elections officials.

Um vote by mail renewal.

We so for the people that voted in 2024, their vote by mail has expired, and it won't be renewed unless they make action to do so.

Of the 88,579 Duval County voters who signed up for vote by mail in 2024, only 22,000 have submitted a new request.

As you know, Florida's law now requires that voters submit a new vote by mail request for every general election cycle.

Previous vote by mail requests expired after new November 2024 election and will expire again December 31st.

Anyone planning to vote by mail in the 2027 municipal elections must re-enroll before February 2025, February 2025, 2027.

That is why the coalition of civil rights groups is urging the Duval County Supervisor of Elections to mail renewed renewal notices to every voter previously enrolled.

In the Tampa Bay region, Sarasota has managed to maintain their vote by mail level as it was in 2024, with the spokesperson for them attributing that to physical vote by mail renewal notices being sent to all voters.

After the local civil rights groups pressed in 2022, Duvall's then supervisor of elections mailed 105 renewal notices in January 2023.

And a few short months later in April, voters were enrolled.

50,000 voters were re enrolled.

Current supervisor of elections, Jerry Holland is no longer planning to send physical notices.

Instead, he has advised us he's relying on texts and emails.

But many voters, especially our seniors, are skeptical of digital outreach as a potential scam.

Now is not the time to reduce outreach.

We urge Supervisor Holland to mail renewal notices to all previously enrolled voters and consider sending out a notice to every voter, or at least the ones over the age of 65 for both the 2026 and 2027 election.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms.

Holley.

Do we discuss this now or do we um as we are republic?

Generally for public caller.

So I'm sorry.

Oh, okay.

All right.

Okay.

We do not have a report.

Thankfully obvious.

Um we can't approve the minutes.

Is there any discussion of the minutes, however, that we could do?

Okay.

Okay.

We did a lot.

Uh it it's really worthwhile that you send these out, um, and provide them.

Um, and I guess you're giving the SOE updates, all right.

Uh Justin Jicalone, Chief Deputy Supervisor of Elections.

Uh good m afternoon, everybody.

Uh, that has shown up.

Uh a couple of things to kind of give you some numbers as we always do.

Um this April actually, uh the number she has, we act as of this morning we're up to 24,094 uh total vote by mail requests.

Uh domestic requests are at twenty-two thousand three fifty nine with the Uacaba, which is our uniform and overseas voters is at uh seventeen hundred and thirty-five on there.

Uh again, our big push for uh vote by mail uh to renew was used uh by phone calls and email uh to drive them to kind of narrow to those that did vote like she mentioned and stuff in 24.

Um it doubled the amount at that time and at this time this is kind of where we're set from here for the primary.

Um sure of any other uh large scale um outreach.

Uh we do do social media and other uh uh lines of outreach that way, uh when it comes to vote by mail as well as registration updating signature, things like that.
