TODAY IS ELECTION DAY ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND VOTERS HAVE MANY ISSUES TO DECIDE, SO LONG AS YOU ARE AFFILIATED WITH A PARTY. THE POLLS WILL BE OPENED UNTIL 7PM, AND YOU NEED TO BRING A PHOTO IDENTIFICATION CARD WITH YOU, SUCH AS A DRIVER’S LICENSE, PASSPORT, MILITARY OR STUDENT I D, OR EVEN A DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD WILL WORK. ELECTIONS OFFICIALS SAY IT MIGHT HELP SPEED UP THE PROCESS IF YOUR BROUGHT YOUR MARKED UP SAMPLE BALLOT AS WELL. THE ADDRESS OF WHERE YOU NEED TO GO SHOULD BE ON YOUR VOTER’S REGISTRATION CARD, BUT IF YOU CAN’T FIND YOURS, YOU CAN GO TO WWW.CHARLOTTEVOTES.COM AND HIT THE LINK “FIND YOUR PRECINCT/POLLING PLACE,” OR IN SARASOTA COUNTY GO TO WWW.SRQELECTIONS.COM AND TYPE IN YOUR ADDRESS. THERE ARE SOME RACES WERE ALL THE CANDIDATES IN A RACE HAVE THE SAME PARTY AFFILIATION AND THERE IS NO NOVEMBER ELECTION, SUCH AS NORTH PORT CITY COMMISSIONER. IN THOSE RACES, EVERYONE CAN CAST A BALLOT.
