You may be voting at a different polling place this year, courtesy of the damage wrought by Hurricanes Milton and Helene.
In hard-hit Pinellas County, elections officials tried to keep things as normal as can be, given the circumstances.
Damage from the hurricanes on the barrier islands and low-lying areas was so extensive that the county has relocated 25 polling places on election day this year.
The county's seven early voting sites and three election centers were not impacted. Pinellas Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus says for many other places, officials have tried not to change most voters' poll locations.
“Going into any presidential elections, especially because you're looking at a four-year difference, anything that we can do to keep continuity, a sense of familiarity, normalcy in an election is always our first priority,” Marcus said. “Our goal is to always keep it within bus routes, driving distance, in some cases walking distance. So everything that we can do to make the process accessible to our voters while maintaining security, obviously, and the integrity of the process.”
Marcus said in certain instances, they had to go to new locations that they have never used before. In other cases, they consolidated two or more voting precincts to one site.
“We have our three offices that will be open (for early voting) from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for voters to vote, and then on election day, because we still have 156 polling place places,” Marcus said. “We're really encouraging folks to use their home precincts, you’ll probably get in and out of there pretty quickly, hopefully.
“And then we have our three offices, which will be open from 7 to 7 to accommodate voters who have been displaced because of one of the two hurricanes, or maybe both. So we really did work very hard to make sure that our voters had the access that they have been used to in previous elections.”
