TAMPA – Obama-Biden State Director Steven Schale issued the following statement regarding the extension of early voting:
“We applaud Gov. Crist for responding to the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by Florida voters during this election season. To this point, an estimated 2 million Floridians have already cast a ballot over the last eight days.
“It is critical that everyone who is eligible and eager to vote be able to participate and have their voice heard. And now with the extended hours, thousands more will have that opportunity.
“We encourage Floridians to continue casting their votes before Election Day, either at an early voting location or by mail, and to participate in this election – because voting is democracy in action.”
Early voting in Florida began Monday, October 20. Effective immediately, all early voting locations will be open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM through Friday, October 31. Hours for Saturday, November 1, and Sunday, November 2, vary by county. Some counties may not offer early voting on Sunday.
All voters are permitted to cast their ballots at any designated early voting location in their county, regardless of where they live. For specific voting times and locations, visit www.voteforchange.com or call 1-877-2FL-OBAMA.
