Elections
2014
The August 26, 2014, general election in Flagler County featured three seats up for election. District 1 incumbent Andy Dance faced a challenge from newcomer Maria Barbosa. The District 2 election featured incumbent John Fischer and challengers Toni Baker, Lynnette Callender and Janet McDonald. Trevor Tucker sought re-election to the District 4 seat against challenger Michael McElroy.
The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. Because no candidate in District 2 received 50 percent plus one of the vote in the general election, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.
