When the clock struck noon today, candidate qualifying for state and local offices officially ended. In Tallahassee, there was a rush of last minute legislative candidates, but Secretary of State Ken Detzner says it was an orderly five days of qualifying.

“I’m trying to encourage people to turn out. You know its an off year election. I just finished an 18 county tour of Supervisors to refresh there awareness of the new laws. See how they’re applying the laws that passed regarding early voting sites and times and I’m pleased to report that I think we’re moving forward” says the appointed Secretary of State.

The primary election is just two months and five days from today.
