In many counties across Florida, residents can cast votes as early as Mon., Oct. 21, as Election Day 2024 draws closer.
As residents across Florida recover from the devastating impact of back-to-back hurricanes, the Office of the Governor issued an Executive Order to address difficulties caused by infrastructure damage, power outages and poll worker availabilities.
This includes flexibility on regulations regarding poll worker training and hiring, early voting deadlines, poll locations and vote-by-mail ballot deadline extensions.
"I am happy to report that our early voting plans have remained intact, even after two hurricanes," Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer said in a release. "I am especially encouraging voters who may be displaced or dealing with storm-related issues to take advantage of the convenience of early voting in our county."
Acceptable photo ID for voting includes:
- Florida Driver License
- Florida ID Card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
- U.S. Passport
- Debit or Credit Card
- Military ID
- Student ID
- Retirement Center ID
- Neighborhood Association ID
- Public Assistance ID
- Veteran Health ID (issued by VA)
- Concealed Weapon License (issued pursuant to s. 790.06)
- Government Employee ID
Plan to bring at least two forms of current identification that include your signature and photo in case either one is ineligible.
And yes, you can bring your cell phone, but you CANNOT use it to take a selfie of you and your ballot.
You also cannot bring your firearm into a polling center. Florida is one of at least eight states that explicitly bans openly carried or concealed firearms at the polls. Florida also prohibits any political campaign materials or electioneering within 150 feet of polling places.
Please see a county-by-county list of early voting dates and times below, and check the Supervisors of Elections website links for specific questions for your county.
