If one thing’s for certain, it’s that early voting helps ensure all Floridians’ voices are heard. As was the case during the primary early voting, the elections office will be offering some days of extended hours.

As the race to the White House reaches the homestretch, hundreds of thousands of voters are expected to utilize early voting across Texas.

There will be early voting at City Hall on Saturday Oct. 29 from 9 a.m. -5p.m. “So this is an opportunity to avoid that if you have any doubt”.

Polls in Volusia and Seminole counties opened at 7 a.m. Another 225 votes came from individuals who are not affiliated with a major party, Poland said. She predicted around 80 percent of voters will cast their ballots, compared to about 66 percent in 2012’s election.

Jackson with the STAND Foundation. The window in Arkansas, set by state statute, gives voters a 14-day chance to cast their ballots early. “If you have any doubt then early voting may not be for you”.

Many voters turning out to service at Church of God Pentecostal in Tampa Sunday night are now more convinced after an election pep talk, that expressing their values through their votes, is needed.

“When we have a first-term president or a non-incumbent our numbers have historically been bigger”, she said. “That way, we don’t have to worry about waiting until the last minute”.

The only contested race locally is that of Terry County Commissioner Precinct 3. If you’re unsure of your registration status, you can check it using the state Election Division’s handy tool here. You have legislative fights.

To make it real convenient, the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office has a drive-thru window where you can return your mail-in ballot without getting out of your auto. “I’m optimistic we are going to get a big turnout”.

He said Florida has taken steps over the years to make it easier for Floridians to vote, with early voting, vote-by-mail and and Election Day voting.
