    Here’s how to find out when early voting ends in your county, the early voting site closest to you, and where to find out if your county’s early voting lines are good before you show up at the polls.

    What is early voting?

    “Eligible and registered voters may vote before Election Day at any designated early voting site in their county of registration during early voting days and hours,” The Florida Division of Elections website states.

    “The voter votes in the same way as on election day. The ballot is cast in the same voting equipment used on Election Day.

    Another benefit of early voting is that if you want, you don’t have to vote at your assigned polling place, like you do on Election Day.
