2012 Voter Guide Design Contest

The Elections Office has received 15 designs from students from Flagler Palm Coast High School, one design has been chosen and will be used as the cover design for the 2012 Flagler County Voter Guide.

The 2nd Annual Voters Guide Design Contest, which was started by Supervisor Weeks last year in collaboration with the School Board, involves art students from Flagler Palm Coast High School and Matanzas High School.

School Board members voted for their favorite and selected the winning cover, which was created by Josiah Davisson, a student at Flagler Palm Coast High School.

The Elections Office would like to offer our very special thanks to Flagler County School Superintendent Janet Valentine, and to the Flagler County School Board members and staff for working with us to provide this first-time opportunity for students.

Congratulations Josiah!

Two Flagler County employees are currently on active duty in Iraq.

On Monday April 18, 2011, the County Commission recognized all World War II, Vietnam and Korean veterans and veterans who now work for the Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, Supervisor of Elections, and the Clerk of Court. More than 100 veterans were recognized in April. Two employees of the Elections Office, Darlene Walker, US Air Force and Kathy Smith, US Navy were honored during the meeting.

The Flagler County Commission joined with the National Association of Counties and 3,068 counties in the nation to approve a proclamation dedicating the month as National County Government Month, “serving our veterans, armed forces and their families.”
