SARASOTA, Fla. — The Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections announced that because of a lack of poll workers for Tuesday’s election, they’re having to combine some voting locations.
Supervisor of Elections Ron Turner says right now, they’re down poll workers by 10 percent. He's concerned that by Tuesday, that number will rise.

"We’re all going through this challenging time, and it’s changing by the day, the hour, the minute and its very fluid. So I would ask voters just to be patient with us, we will work with them. We are truly here to serve them," said Turner.
Sarasota County has 99 precincts and they’re condensing 15 of those voting locations down to five. There will be people and signs at the old precincts directing people where to go.
