Jacksonville voters, volunteers and supporters gathered for a March to the Polls event ahead of Election Day, pairing early voting with music, food trucks and community outreach.
The event was led by State Rep. Angie Nixon, a candidate for the U.S. Senate. Nixon said the gathering was intended to bring people together and encourage them to vote early.
Voter Amy Hogan told News4JAX that participating was about demonstrating unity as well as casting a ballot. Organizers also called voters across Florida to encourage turnout.
Volunteer Jessica Machin said the outreach focused on encouraging people facing financial stress and other concerns to make their voices heard at the polls.
News4JAX reported that it asked U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody’s office about her voting plans; the office said it would share that information when available.
