Supervisor of Elections website on Election Night: The Wakulla County Supervisor of Elections, along with other Election Offices in the State of Florida, with the recommendation of our vendor, VR Systems, Inc., will publish a static website beginning at 6:30 pm on Nov. 5th. The purpose of publishing this static website is to mitigate any server issues that may arise due to heavy
network traffic on Election Night.
Due to this recommendation, Wakulla County Supervisor of Elecyions, along with the help of our vendor, VR Systems, Inc.
will transition our website to “Election Night Mode” beginning 6:30 pm on Nov. 5. This mode will provide faster
response times for voters looking for Election Night results and provide our most used links. As our network traffic will be
at an all-time high, this will provide additional security to ensure our website stays stable and provide fast load times for
voters.
Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Supervisor of Elections Office by email at [email protected] , or by phone at 850-926-7575, Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Mashes Sands Beach

Tests completed on Thursday, September 19, 2024, indicate that the water quality at Mashes Sands Beach does not meet the recreational water quality criteria for Enterococcus bacteria recommended by the Florida Department of Health.

DOH-Wakulla advises against any water-related activities at this location due to an increased risk of illness in swimmers. Sampling conducted during regular water quality monitoring showed that the level of bacteria exceeds the level established by state guidelines.

This advisory will continue until bacteria levels are below the accepted health level. Test results are available at FloridaHealth.gov/HealthyBeaches.

POLITICAL FORUM LOCATION HAS CHANGED: A tree has fallen on 319 and knocked out power at the library – it's not clear how long it will take to restore service. We are moving tonight's candidate forum to the community center, still starting at 6 p.m., to hear from county commission candidates, incumbent Mike Kemp and challenger Valerie Russell.

07/29/2024

Final candidate forum is Tuesday night at 6 p.m. at the Wakulla County Public Library with candidates from the contested county commission race: incumbent Mike Kemp and challenger Valerie Russell. If you can't make it in person, the forum will be live-streamed on YouTube at The Wakulla Sun channel, which is also where you can watch other candidate forums for property appraiser, school board, sheriff, and superintendent of schools.

The Wakulla Sun second Candidate Forum (edited) is now on www.thewakullasun.com or on our YouTube page. The two races covered this week are Wakulla County Superintendent of Schools and Wakulla County School Board. Stay informed Wakulla!

The Wakulla Sun does not receive any funding or donation to hold our forums. We host them to help our community make informed decisions and so the candidates have a way for their voices to reach a broader audience.
Special thanks to David Pienta, Rachel Sutz Pienta, Heather Bryan & Rockulla Music Imporium for their help with the forums.
