The Supervisor of Elections is expecting a record turnout in this important election and there are worries that polling places may be very crowded on November 4th.

You can avoid long lines and delays by voting now at three early voting sites in Pinellas County.

The three locations in Pinellas for early voting are:
Supervisor of Elections Office
Pinellas County Courthouse
315 Court St Room 117
Clearwater FL 33756

Supervisor of Elections Office

Absentee ballots may be mailed (with proper postage) or turned in at designated locations around the county until 7 p.m. on election day. You may request an absentee ballot be mailed to you by calling 727-464-6788 or by visiting the Vote Pinellas web site before 5 p.m. October 29th. After that date you may still pick up an absentee ballot at any Elections Office.

The website also lists Early Voting sites and ballot dropoff locations. Every registered voter also was mailed a sample ballot including these instructions, so check your mailbox and if you’re ready to cast your vote, why not do it early and save yourself some time?
