Election
Update
(7/15/2014)
Bart Gawlikowski has decided to withdraw from
the 2014 race as a candidate for the office of
Lake Helen Commission, Zone 2. The race
will therefore move forward to the November 4,
2014 General Election with two Zone 2
candidates, Vernon Burton and Ernie DeBoliac,
remaining in the race. A vote for the Lake
Helen Commission Zone 2 race will not count in
the August 26, 2014 primary election.
Since
the Primary Election Ballot has been prepared,
Ann McFall, Supervisor of Elections for Volusia
County, Florida, will be sending a notification
with the Absentee Ballots as well as posting the
notification at all early voting sites, and at
Precinct 222 on August 26, 2014 during the
primary election.
There are no changes for
the Lake Helen Commission Zone 4 election.
David Hughes, Cameron Lane and Tura Schnebly
will remain on the August 26, 2014 Primary
Election Ballot.
