Six locations to be available, with hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
In-person early voting for the Aug. 18 Primary Election will begin Saturday, Aug. 8, and continue for nine consecutive days, including two weekends, Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections Ron Turner has announced.
The hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., a news release says.
“In-person early voting is one of the three ways to vote in Florida and offers convenient days and times for those who prefer to vote in person before election day,” Turner said. “During the early voting period, voters may vote at any early voting site in the county.”
The early voting sites will be as follows:
- Downtown Sarasota in the Terrace Building, which stands at 2001 Adams Lane.
- The Venice Elections Office, which is located at 4000 S. Tamiami Trail, within the Robert L. Anderson Administration Center.
- The North Port Elections Office, which stands at 13640 Tamiami Trail in North Port.
- The Betty J. Johnson North Sarasota Library, which is located at 2801 Newtown Blvd. in Sarasota.
- Colonial Oaks Park, which stands at 5300 Colonial Oaks Blvd. in Sarasota.
- Gulf Gate Library, which is located at 7112 Curtiss Ave. in Sarasota.
“Florida is a closed primary state which means only voters who are registered members of a political party may vote in that party’s primary election,” Turner said in the release. “Still, there’s something for every voter in this election, regardless of party affiliation, including countywide races for three school board seats, and for City of Sarasota voters there will be two at-large city commission seats.”
Turner also noted in the release that the Aug. 18 Primary Election sample ballot is available online. Voters may review their sample ballots by visiting SarasotaVotes.gov.
