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.
