Voters in parts of northeast Florida will be able to cast an early, in-person ballot this weekend in the special election to fill the seat of Congressman Michael Waltz. Waltz is resigning effective Monday, when he will join the incoming Trump administration as national security advisor.
Waltz currently represents District 6, which includes all of Flagler and Putnam counties, as well as parts of St. Johns, Lake, Marion, and Volusia counties.
