City Council candidates Heidi Shipley and Steven Nobile came out on top in Flagler Votes straw polling conducted at the Oct. 11-12 Creekside Festival and the Oct. 14 Flagler Votes Forum, while incumbents led in the other races.
The straw polls were administered using iPads with an app called Straw Poll to 125 people, according to a news release from the Flagler County Chamber, which called the totals “informal indications of voter sentiment at these recent events.”
“Our organizations teamed up to create Flagler Votes to educate voters and encourage turnout,” Flagler Votes Committee Chair Lea Stokes. “The results of this recent straw poll may not be statistically significant, though they give us some insight as to which way the elections could go.”
Three races were very close, Stokes said: Flagler County Commission District 2, Flagler County School Board District 2 and Palm Coast City Council District 4.
“There are a number of tight races out there,” she said in the news release. “The good news is if you support a particular candidate, there’s still time to rally your friends, family and colleagues to support them as well.”
The Flagler Votes Committee is a nonpartisan group of representatives from the Flagler County Chamber, Flagler County Association of Realtors and Flagler Home Builders Association.
