Early voting dates, times, locations

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Voters in Jacksonville, Baker, Bradford, Flagler counties and 20 other Florida counties began casting ballots at designated polling places Aug. 15, and by the end of the week, every county in the state would have early voting sites open.

Scroll down for locations, dates and hours of early voting sites in every county in northeast Florida.

Early voting for the Aug. 30 primary is mandated from Aug. 20 through Aug. 27, but county supervisors of elections have the discretion to begin sooner and to keep early-voting locations open on Aug. 28.

During early voting, voters can cast ballots at any early voting location in their county.  Early voting is not available the day before the election. On election day, voters must vote at their assigned precincts.

Absentee voting, or voting by mail, is also an option. Voters can request a ballot through their local elections office at any time up to, and including, Election Day.

"To me, it's just a patriotic duty (for) the freedom we have as Americans" said Mike Hogan, Duval County Supervisor of Elections. "If we don't take part in it, we can't complain about our government because we are selecting the folks that are going to representing us, making those decisions about taxes and everything that affects our daily life."
