The Fort Myers Beach recall election ballot is set. The noon Monday deadline to qualify passed with no additional names on the Superviser of Elections beingsubmitted other than the three we reported on last week.
If the recall of John King or/and Karen Woodson is successful on November 4th there will be 3 candidates for voters to choose from: Tom Brady, Rebecca Link and Eddie Rood.
There is still a chance the recall could fail. A majority of the voters must vote in favor before they vote for the two candidates they’d like to see on the Town Council if King and Woodson are recalled. There’s also the possibility that only one of the two sitting council members could be recalled. If only one person is recalled, whoever receives the most votes in the recall election will take that seat.
The seats now occupied by King and Woodson are up for election in November of 2026 no matter what happens with the recall.
The recall election will cost between $20,000 and $25,000 and be paid for by Fort Myers Beach taxpayers. The November 4th election will be held at Bay Oaks. You can vote by mail. Your mai-in vote must be submitted by October 23rd. In order to vote by mail, contact the elections office at (239) 533-8683.
Rebecca Link will be on the show Saturday at 11:30AM at Margaritaville on the terrace.
