Decision Apopka 2018

Republicans take an early lead in returns

Election day in Apopka may be March 13th, but hundreds of ballots have already been counted in the race for mayor, and two city commission seats. On February 6th, vote-by-mail ballots were sent to Apopka voters who requested them, and only one week later are already pouring back in to the Orange County Supervisor of Elections (OCSE) office.

According to the OCSE, 307 ballots have been received and approved in the Apopka Municipal Election with 160 (52.12%) being registered Republicans, 109 (35.5%) Democrats, and 38 (12.38%) listed as "other" or no affiliation.

In the 2014 Apopka Mayoral election (runoff), 56% (3,460) voted by mail, while 44% voted the day of the election. Also in the 2014 runoff, Republicans outdistanced Democrats at the polls 49%-33%, with "other" and no affiliation making up 18% of the electorate.

There is still time to request a vote-by-mail ballot:
