Early Voting Starts Saturday

For Pinellas County voters, Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark announces that early voting for the Nov. 6 General Election begins at 7 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27.

A state law last year changed the dates for early voting, which now begins 10 days prior to and ends three days prior to an election.  Early voting will be conducted Oct. 27 – Nov. 3 in all Supervisor of Elections offices.  

Pinellas County hours will be Saturday-Saturday, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. The last day for early voting is Saturday, Nov. 3, per state law. 

“To avoid lines, voters can request a mail ballot and vote in the comfort of their homes. The ballot is four pages (two ballot cards) and includes 11 proposed constitutional amendments and a Pinellas School District referendum.” Clark said in a news releae. “On average it is taking voters 20 minutes just to read through the ballot questions.”
