PERC Elections
The Commission has an Election Division that conducts elections for public employees through out the State of Florida. The elections are held for a wide range of units including Police, Fire, School or University, Sheriff, Medical, and all other City and County units. Elections are conducted when a Representation Certification Petition (Form 4) or a Petition to Revoke Certification (Form 6) is filed. Petitions have to be accompanied by at least a 30% showing of interest of the proposed unit.
All elections are conducted by secret ballot and by a designated agent of the Commission. Elections may be conducted by mail, on-site, or by any combined method ordered or approved by the Commission.
The Election Division conducts an average of sixty-five elections a year. Some elections have been for very small units and some have been for state wide units. Elections have been held for as small as two people in a unit to as many as 30,000.
If you have any questions or need further information concerning or involving an election, please contact the Commission's Supervisor of Elections Eddie Johnson. You may also visit the Election Procedures and Rules.
