Who's on my ballot in Alachua County? A voter guide for the 2024 general election

In Alachua County, four county offices face competitive general elections this fall.

Our newsroom reached out to all nine candidates in those contested races and asked if they would help us inform voters about the issues they care about, what motivated them to run and which agenda items they seek to pass if elected.

Florida's primary election was Aug. 20, and the deadline to change your voter registration for the general election was Oct. 7.

The general election is Nov. 5. Early voting begins Oct. 21 and ends Nov. 3.
