Lee County Supervisor of Elections finalizes recall ballot

Lee County Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle has finalized the Town of Fort Myers Beach recall election ballot for the recall election of Fort Myers Beach councilmembers John King and Karen Woodson.

Doyle’s office has released a copy of a sample ballot for the public as Fort Myers Beach voters have begun receiving notices from the elections office to submit a request for a mail-in ballot by Oct. 23.

The ballot first asks voters whether they want to recall King and Woodson, followed by a separate question of whether they want to vote for Tom Brady, Rebecca Link or Edward Rood. Voters can choose up to two candidates.

Whether Brady, Link or Rood are elected depends on whether voters approve the recall or not. If both King and Woodson are recalled, the top two-vote getters would gain their seats. If only one of the councilmembers is recalled, the top vote-getter would get their seat. The term of office runs through November, 2026 at which time another election will be held for those four-year seats.
