As of 9 a.m. on Saturday, 155,371 voters cast their ballots by voting early and 58,725 more voters’ absentee ballots have been received by mail.  That’s 39.9% of the registered voters in Duval County.

Elections chief Jerry Holland (and, less significantly, this writer) predicted we’d hit 40% total for early voting, and there are lines at the polls Saturday and six more hours of voting on Sunday.

The latest numbers available from the state elections office showed that 1,954,006 people had voted early in Florida as of 5 a.m. Friday.

Early voting in Duval County continues until 6 p.m. today and noon to 6 on Sunday.  Early voting in most other northeast Florida counties ends at 7 p.m. this evening (Saturday).
