Early Voting schedule for the 2024 Primary Election has been released.

SEE THE PRESS RELEASE BELOW:

Starting on Saturday, August 10, and running through Sunday, August 18, Leon County voters can cast ballots for the Primary Election at ten Early Voting locations, said Supervisor Earley. I encourage voters to consider voting early as a way of avoiding lines on Election Day.

The benefits of Early Voting include shorter wait times, 320 combined hours of weekend voting availability, and the flexibility to vote at any Early Voting site in Leon County. The list of Early Voting hours and locations can be found below, in the Election Guide which was mailed to all voters, and at LeonVotes.gov.

EARLY VOTING DATES: Saturday, August 10 Sunday, August 18 LOCATION ADDRESS HOURS Leon County Courthouse 301 S Monroe St 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Leon County Elections Center 2990-1 Apalachee Pkwy 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Bruce J Host Northeast Branch Library 5513 Thomasville Rd 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Dr B L Perry Jr Branch Library 2817 S Adams St 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Eastside Branch Library 1583 Pedrick Rd 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. FAMU Student Union 1628 MLK Jr Blvd 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Fort Braden Community Center 16387 Blountstown Hwy 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. FSU Student Union 75 N Woodward Ave Way 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Lake Jackson Community Center 3840 N Monroe St Ste 301 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Woodville Community Center 8000 Old Woodville Rd 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Voters can drop-off a Vote-by-Mail ballot at any Early Voting site during voting hours. Each site has a secure ballot intake station (also known as a drop box) staffed by an election worker, so voters can return their Vote-by-Mail ballots directly to the Elections Office. The Elections Office must receive Vote-by-Mail ballots by 7 p.m. on Election Day, August 20 for them to be counted. Any ballots received after this deadline will not count, so voters are encouraged to return their ballots soon.

If a voter has not yet requested a Vote-by-Mail ballot, there is still time to do so. The deadline to request that a Primary Election ballot be mailed is this Thursday, August 8. After this deadline, and up to and including Election Day itself, voters can pick up their Vote-by-Mail ballot in person. Ballots can be picked up from the Elections Office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway or any Early Voting site. Voters can also have a family member or someone else they designate pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot for them. Starting on August 10, if a voter wants to pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot, they must list an emergency that prevents them from voting in person.

Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Supervisor of Elections Office by email at Vote@LeonVotes.gov, or by phone at (850) 606-8683, Monday Friday 8:30 a.m. 5 p.m.
