TAMPA BAY — Early voting has officially kicked off across some counties in the Tampa Bay area, which means there are plenty of locations where you can cast your vote.

Unlike Election Day on Aug. 20, where you must vote at your assigned polling place, early voting gives Tampa Bay residents the chance to fill out or drop their ballot off at multiple locations in their county.

Florida has a closed primary, meaning only voters registered for a particular political party can vote in that party’s respective primary. If you're not sure if you're registered to vote in the state of Florida, you can double-check on the Florida Division of Elections website.

While the deadline to register to vote for the primaries has already passed, residents can still register for this year's general election. They must do so by Oct. 7, 2024.

Election Day is Nov. 5, 2024.
