Amid record numbers, early voting coming to close across Florida

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – More than 4.8 million Floridians had cast ballots by Sunday morning, two days before the general election. Observers expect turnout this year to break all records for a midterm election.

Under state law, all counties must open at least one early voting site and keep it open at least eight hours per day for eight days. Most counties offer more than the minimum number of days for early voting. While most counties ended early voting Saturday, Duval and Bradford are among a handful of Florida's 67 counties that keeps voting sites open on Sunday.

Early voting uses the same type of voting equipment that is used at the polls on Election Day and voters can cast ballots at any location in their county. Early voting is not available the day before the election. On Election Day, voters can only vote at their assigned precincts.

In order to vote at the polls during early voting or on Election Day, citizens must show a current and valid picture and signature identification. (List of acceptable forms of photo identification) If your photo identification does not contain your signature, you will be required to show an additional form of identification that provides your signature.

Absentee voting, or voting by mail, continues until the polls close on Election Day, Nov. 6. Voters can request a ballot mailed through Oct. 31 or they can be picked up at their local elections office at any time up to and including Election Day.

The top races are the gubernatorial primaries, but all three Florida cabinet posts are contested this year. There's also hotly contested primaries in some congressional, Florida state Senate and House districts, as well as school boards and, in some counties, county commission and city commission races. Jacksonville voters will also pick a new tax collector.

More than 13.2 million Floridians are registered to vote in this election, according to figures from the state Division of Elections. That’s an increase of more than 500,000 voters from the 2016 election. There are nearly five million registered Democrats in the state, slightly outnumbering 4.7 million Republicans. Another 3.6 million voters are registered with a minor political party or no party affiliation.
