Early voting for the Aug. 18 primary will take place in Pasco County through Aug. 15 at 11 sites in Pasco County, according to Brian E. Corley, supervisor of elections for Pasco County.

Early voting take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the following locations:

Residents can also still vote by mail but the date to have a vote-by-mail ballot by mailed to you has passed. Residents wishing to vote by mail must pick up ballots at one of the three supervisor of elections offices by Monday, Aug. 17 at 5 p.m.

Voters wishing to pick up ballots on behalf of someone will need a written request from the voter designating them as the person authorized to carry out the ballot. The designee will be asked to provide a photo ID and to complete an affidavit before releasing the ballot to them.

Florida Statutes does not allow for vote-by-mail ballots to be picked up in the supervisor's office on the day of the election unless an emergency precludes the voter from going to their assigned polling place. An affidavit affirming the facts of the emergency will be required. The only exception is voters residing in an assisted living facility.

All voted ballots must be physically in the elections' office by 7 p.m., Aug. 18, the day of the primary, including ballots being delivered by the United States Postal Service.

Curbside ballot drop-off will be available at all 11 early voting sites during the early voting period through Aug. 15 and voted ballots may be hand delivered to any of the three supervisor of elections offices in Pasco County by the 7 p.m. Election Day deadline.

Voted ballots may not be turned in at the polls on Election Day. Voters can check the status of their vote-by-mail ballot here.
