Early voting begins Monday, candidates make final push for Florida

Some are calling it the most important election of their lives. Monday morning, early voting gets underway.

The Supervisor of Elections website in your county lists the early voting locations. There are 11 different polling locations that will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Voting early is the preference for many people.

“I’ve always voted in person, I guess it’s just a habit. I’ve always pretty much voted a little bit early, but not too early, you know? I want to see what everybody has to say before I decide,” said Bill Kenny of Fort Myers.

In Georgia, and many other states where early voting is already underway, people have waited in long lines.

Lee County Supervisor of Elections Tommy Doyle says he expects everything to run smoothly.

Masks are encouraged, but not required, If you come to a polling location without one, a worker will offer you one, assuring you of your safety and your vote.

“There’s no reason not to have confidence in this year,” Doyle said. “We take it very serious and security, especially security of the ballot, ballots have a strict chain of command that we adhere to, are you should be very confident that your vote will count.”

Early voting starts Monday, Oct. 19 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 1. If you still haven’t made up your mind, the final presidential debate is set for Thursday.
