My question is for those who have voted (or ran) in prior County Commissioner races before. Is this correct in that no matter your district #, you are still able to vote for other County Commissioners in the other districts?
We will of course call on Monday, but thought we would ask here to see if our fellow villagers might be able to help us new voters.

Yes, that is correct. All Sumter County residents vote for all districts.
Something called One Sumter passed many years ago to make it this way. Occasionally you will here about a Reverse One Sumter initiative to try to change it back to voting only for your own district.
