Flagler County voters cast their ballots for a variety of elections and referendums on Tuesday, from the individual neighborhood level all the way up to the national scale. The voter turnout in Flagler County was 83.37%, the highest turnout since 1996 when the county had only a fraction of its current population.
The Supervisor of Elections Office reported the full results just 61 minutes after the polls closed for the day, giving residents closure on a number of highly contested races. Palm Coast knows its new City Council, the County Commission is set, and the county made its voice heard on the six state constitutional amendments which were up for a vote.
