Voters who never have cast ballots for elections in Boca Raton and Delray Beach may determine who wins those elections.
Though local governments are closest to the people, city elections regularly attract far less turnout than national or state contests. Fifteen percent is high. A quirk could make this year different.
Last year, with the COVID-19 pandemic making people wary of polling places, elections supervisors in Florida pushed mail-in ballots. Like many of her state counterparts, Wendy Link not only allowed Palm Beach County voters to request ballots for the 2020 election. She allowed them to request ballots through November 2022.

Drucker says she may be a fresh face on the council, jumping on in November, but not in the city of Boca. I ve been in the community a lot. I ve been serving in non-profit boards, in over 19 boards, giving back. Advocacy is a passion of mine, and community service.
Drucker worked for 13 years in human resources management.
