The 2022 Jacksonville Sheriff special election was held on August 23, 2022, to elect the next sheriff of Jacksonville, Florida, United States. Incumbent sheriff Pat Ivey, previously the undersheriff, was appointed interim sheriff by Governor DeSantis after his predecessor Mike Williams resigned.[1] Ivey was not a candidate in the election. As no candidates received more than 50% of the vote in the general election, a runoffwas held on November 8, 2022, coinciding with the regularly scheduled elections in Florida. T.K. Waters ultimately won the race with 55% of the vote compared to Burton's 45%.[2]
