(CREDIT: WINK News) If you plan to vote by mail during this election in Lee or Collier counties, you have until Saturday, the same day early voting begins in Southwest Florida, to request a mail-in ballot. There are way more early voting sites in Southwest Florida this year, so it’s likely you’ll be casting your ballot at a different location than you’re used to. As the area’s population grows, voting officials are adding new polling locations to be able to handle the volume. They are also adding new precincts for Election Day, which is Aug. 23. Some of the new early voting locations include the Collier County Government Services Center at Heritage Bay, located at 15450 Collier Blvd., and the South Regional Library, located at 8065 Lely Cultural Parkway in Lely Resort. And with more people voting, there is also a need for more workers to keep up with the demand. “We’ve done a little bit of hiring internally, but also it is requiring us to hire new co-workers,” said Trish Robertson, public relations officer for the Collier County supervisor of elections. “We have been recruiting for those numbers. It’s always a challenge during the primary because we’re a very transient area; there’s a lot of people who have homes here and also have homes up north. So, sometimes it’s a little difficult.” Submit Copyright ©2024 Fort Myers Broadcasting. All rights reserved.
