Democracy Starts Here Exhibit Opens | Jacksonville News

Step into history at Jacksonville’s new “Democracy Starts Here” exhibit, where you can see the infamous “hanging chad” ballots from the 2000 election and witness how voting tech has evolved from lever machines to touchscreens. Free and open weekdays until October 16th, this hands-on display—backed by local leaders like Jerry Holland and Mayor Donna Deegan—is designed to boost trust in elections by showing voters exactly how it all works. Behind-the-scenes tours are also available for groups. It’s a powerful reminder: every vote matters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
