Where, when and how to vote in Seminole County

Early voting: Oct. 19 – Nov. 1

Any registered Seminole County voter can vote at any of the county's seven early-voting sites, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day from Monday, Oct. 19, through Sunday, Nov. 1. They are the Supervisor of Elections office in Sanford; five branch libraries: Jean Rhein Central in Casselberry, East in Oviedo, North in Sanford, Northwest in Lake Mary and West in Longwood; and the Oviedo Aquatic Center.

Every early-voting site has a secure drop box for mail ballots, open during early-voting hours.

Election Day: Tuesday, Nov. 3

On Election Day you must vote at the polling place for your precinct, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Anyone in line at 7 p.m. can still vote. Enter your address in the guide above to find yours. The Supervisor of Elections office is not a polling place on Election Day.

Eleven precincts got new polling places this year, so check yours even if you voted in 2024. The Supervisor of Elections has also announced a new polling place for Precinct 55: the Eastmonte Civic Center, 830 Magnolia Dr., Altamonte Springs. If you're unsure, use the Supervisor of Elections' polling place map.

Voting by mail

The deadline to request a mail ballot is 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22.

A voted mail ballot must reach the Supervisor of Elections by 7 p.m. on Election Day; postmarks don't count. One Forever stamp covers the return postage. You can drop it off at the Supervisor of Elections office, 1500 E. Airport Blvd., Sanford, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays, or at any early-voting site during early-voting hours through Nov. 1. On Election Day, the office is the only place that takes mail ballots, until 7 p.m. Polling places do not accept mail ballots.

If there's a problem with the signature on your mail ballot, you have until 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, to fix it. Here's how.

What to bring

Bring a current, valid photo ID that shows your signature. If your photo ID doesn't have a signature, bring a second ID that does. Florida accepts these photo IDs:

• Florida driver's license
• Florida ID card
• U.S. passport
• Debit or credit card
• Military ID
• Student ID
• Retirement center ID
• Neighborhood association ID
• Public assistance ID
• Veteran health identification card
• License to carry a concealed weapon or firearm
• Employee ID card issued by a government agency

Forgot your ID? You can still cast a provisional ballot. It counts if your signature matches the one on file.

Getting there

Where a site has a LYNX bus stop or a SunRail station within a quarter mile, the guide lists it with the routes that serve it, and the directions links open your maps app with transit directions. Many Seminole County sites have no stop that close. SunRail, which stops in Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood and Altamonte Springs, runs on weekdays only, so not on the early-voting weekends; it does run on Election Day.

Accessibility

Every early-voting site and polling place has an accessible voting device and an election worker to help voters with disabilities. You can bring someone to help you vote, as long as it isn't your employer, an agent of your employer, or an officer or agent of your union.

More on voting with a disability from the Supervisor of Elections.
