Early voting in Florida will end soon. Schedules, schedules, dates by region

play

Nearly half of registered voters in Florida have already cast their votes, either at early voting locations or by mail-in ballot. But if you plan to vote before Election Day, you’re running out of time.

Early voting ends Saturday in most Florida counties, with 17 extending early voting through Sunday and two of them, Pinellas and Taylor counties, extending theirs through Election Day due to damage. caused by Hurricane Milton.

If you requested a vote-by-mail ballot, it may be too late to mail it back in time to arrive at the Supervisor of Elections office before 7 pm on Election Day. You can drop it off at designated drop boxes or election offices, or drop it off at a polling location and vote in person.

What is early voting?

“Eligible and registered voters may cast their ballot before Election Day at any designated early voting site within their county of registration during early voting days and hours.” The Florida Division of Elections website says.

“The voter votes in the same way as on election day. The ballot is deposited into the same voting equipment used on Election Day.”

Another advantage of voting early is that you do not have to vote in your assigned precinct, as you do on Election Day.

When are the 2024 presidential elections?

The general election will take place on Tuesday, November 5.

When does early voting end in Florida for the 2024 election?

Early voting must take place from at least the tenth day before the election until the third day before the election. Each county’s Supervisor of Elections may choose to offer more days of early voting, starting up to five days earlier or lasting one day longer.

Here are the early voting dates by county in Florida. Click on the county names for more information and locations. Some counties have wait times to vote.

Where can I go to vote early? How to find your polling place

To find the early voting site closest to you and the dates and times for early voting in your county, visit your county supervisor of elections website or find it at Florida Division of Elections Precinct Lookup Tool. There may be an additional “early voting” link to find early voting sites.

You must vote in your county, but if you vote early you are not required to vote in your assigned district. Signature ID is required to vote in Florida. You can vote without identification, but you will be given a provisional ballot, which will be reviewed by the Supervisor of Elections.

How can I make sure my ballot has been counted in Florida?

You can, and should, verify that your ballot was received and counted by checking the Vote-by-Mail Ballot Information and Status in your county. You can find them all at two.myflorYoda.com/elections.
