Election Day in Florida: Everything you need to know to vote in the midterms
- On Tuesday, Nov. 3, Florida voters head to the polls for the general election, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at their assigned precincts.
- Voters must present a current, valid photo ID with a signature to cast a ballot, though those lacking required identification may receive a provisional ballot to prove their identity later.
- Ballots include races for governor, U.S. Senate, and local seats, plus Amendment 3, which proposes raising homestead exemptions on non-school property taxes to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028.
- Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Amy Pennock emphasized that local elections shape daily life, including "potholes, your schools, your roadways, your stormwater issues," beyond federal contests.
- State law requires a machine recount if the vote margin is 0.5% or less, followed by a manual recount if the margin reaches 0.25% or less. The Associated Press declares winners only when trailing candidates cannot close the gap.
