SPECIAL REFERENDUM ELECTION FOR VOTERS
IN PRECINCT 813
(SOUTH BEACH ANNEXATION)
It has recently come to the attention of Supervisor of Elections
Ann McFall that the Special Referendum Election submitted by the
City of New Smyrna Beach is not an issue intended to be voted on
by residents of the City of New Smyrna Beach. The Department has
learned the referendum involving the annexation of the South
Beach area into the City of New Smyrna Beach is to only be voted
on by the residents of the area considered for annexation. This
is the South Beach area including Silver Sands and Bethune
Beach. These voters are assigned to precinct 813, Silver Sands
Civic Center, 5 Palm Drive, New Smyrna Beach.
“Upon review by this Department, and the respective attorneys
for the County of Volusia and the City of New Smyrna Beach, the
original ballot for the City of New Smyrna Beach has been
withdrawn and will no longer contain the annexation referendum
question.” stated McFall. “Voters assigned to precinct 813 who
have already ordered and received an absentee ballot for this
upcoming election will be receiving a revised ballot by mail.
The ballots previously sent to these voters have been cancelled
and should be destroyed by those voters when they are received.
All other voters outside precinct 813 will not be affected.”
Early voting begins October 23, 2006 and ends November 4, 2006.
Locations are the New Smyrna Beach Regional Library, Deltona
Regional Library, Daytona Beach Regional Library (City Island)
and the Supervisor of Elections Office in Deland. Hours of
operation are 8a-4p Monday – Saturday. Ballots for all voting
citizens of Volusia County will be available at all 4 (four)
early voting sites and also at their local precinct on November
7, 2006.
