Alachua County's sheriff and property appraiser held onto their positions in Tuesday's local primary election.
Sheriff Sadie Darnell defeated Lonnie Scott with more than 60 percent of Tuesday's vote.
She said she planned to focus on community policing and jail overcrowding.
"I'm going to continue the momentum and accomplish the mission that has been set in place," Darnell said.
Ed Crapo, Alachua County property appraiser, also retained his seat, earning more than 65 percent of the vote in Tuesday's race against Alonzo Victor Perkins.
The property appraiser determines the values of homes and researches what buyers are willing to pay for them.
The election also established Republican Don Curtis and Democrat Julie Conley as nominees for District 10 state representative.
County Commissioner Mike Byerly earned the Democratic nomination for District 1 County Commission seat, defeating Rick Bryant - a former Gainesville city commissioner.
School Board seats went to Eileen Roy and Barbara Sharpe.
Denise Ferrero led the county judge race with about 45 percent of the vote. The race will go to a run-off to determine a majority winner.
Judges must be elected with a majority vote, meaning 50 percent of the votes, plus one vote minimum.
Turnout in the election was low, especially at the Reitz Union polling place, where most on-campus students are assigned to vote.
Poll workers reported midway through the day that they had seen fewer than 10 voters.
"Particularly the second day of classes when the races are school board and county judge, you just don't get a lot of turnout," poll clerk Jeff Feller said.
Assistant clerk Marilyn Tubb agreed.
"We get a lot of younger newer students who don't have the connections to Alachua County," Tubb said.
Poll workers said they expected to see a much higher turnout at the next election Nov. 4.
Voters must register by Oct. 6 to participate in the Nov. 4 election.
Early voting begins Oct. 20.
