Hillsborough has 19 early voting sites open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For a list of locations and wait times, go to votehillsborough.org.

Pinellas has three early voting sites open:

To avoid delays, please bring one or two forms of identification that include your signature and photo. Without proper identification, you may still vote a provisional ballot, which will later be evaluated by a canvassing board for eligibility. If your photo ID does not include your signature, you will be asked to provide another ID that has your signature.
