Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and the heated 2020 presidential election, Sarang Hentz and thousands of Palm Beach County citizens, especially those who are younger or people of color, are eligible to do something they likely have never done before vote in a city election.
But will they?
Unlike national elections, municipal races usually attract few voters. This month’s city elections may be different.
Hentz, along with about 388,000 voters countywide, cast their ballots by mail in last year’s presidential election, state records show. What many of them didn’t know was that when they signed up to vote by mail, they subscribed to receive ballots for all elections for up to four years, including the Tuesday municipal races that will determine the balance of power in cities across the county.
