If you are considering a run for a Nassau County elected office, you’d better get busy.  According to the Supervisor of Elections (SOE) website (www.votenassau.com), qualification for such positions will be done between noon on June 16 and noon June 20, 2014.  This applies for county commission seats, school board seats, and seats on special districts.  Some candidates have already opened accounts and submitted financial reports as declared candidates.

The chart below was taken from the SOE website on June 8, 2014:

Candidates for Fernandina Beach City Commission Groups 2 and 3 seats have a bit longer to prepare for qualification, which begins at 8:00 a.m. on July 7 and closes at 5:00 p.m. on August 8, 2014.  Check the city website (www.fbfl.us) for the most up-to-date information.
