Florida Election Time, Our VOTE Suggestions
The fall primary of candidates and election of judges is going on present for voters who requested mail in ballots. This is the Primary Election for many state, local county, Board of Education and also the important election of judges in our district.
Early balloting or absentee ballots are available thru the Supervisor of Elections. Primary Election Day is Tuesday, August 26th.
First thing to do before going to the polls is to have ready a picture ID with your signature on the ID before receiving your ballot. ID’s include Florida drivers license, Florida ID, passport, etc. Florida has a closed primary meaning you have to be affiliated with a political party to vote in that parties primary.
