With less than three weeks to go before Election Day, counties across the Sunshine State are opening early voting polling sites.

On Tuesday, November 5, Florida voters will cast ballots for their presidential candidate, Senate and congressional candidates, local candidates, and decide on six state amendments, including Amendment 4, the citizen-led initiative to enshrine abortion in the state Constitution.

For those seeking to avoid long lines, early voting is an option.

All counties across the Sunshine State must offer early voting starting October 26, but many are starting earlier. Election officials are reminding state residents that early voting kicks off in Florida on Monday, October 21 in some areas.

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Floridians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Floricua has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Florida families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
