The future of the Citrus County Election Commission remains unclear after a recent meeting. On Monday night, the Citrus County Board of Commissioners discussed the possibility of dissolving the independent election commission.
The meeting, which took place at the Citrus County Board of Commissioners’ office located at 405A W. Baker St, Inverness, Florida, drew a large crowd of concerned citizens. The discussion centered around a proposal to abolish the election commission and take over election duties from the county.
No decision was made during the meeting, and the board will revisit the issue at a future meeting. The Citrus County Election Commission has been in operation for several years, overseeing elections in the county.
Some residents expressed concerns about the potential changes, citing the importance of maintaining the independence of the election commission. Others argued that consolidating election duties under the county could lead to cost savings and increased efficiency.
The issue is expected to be discussed further in the coming weeks, with a decision potentially being made at a later date.
