Early voting's final weekend: seven Seminole sites open until 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, then voters go to their own precinct

Seminole County voters who want to cast a ballot before Election Day have until Sunday, Nov. 1. All seven early voting locations in the county keep 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. hours on Saturday and Sunday, closing out a stretch that started Oct. 19, the county elections office says.

The cutoff is not the same everywhere in Florida. Early voting ends Saturday, Oct. 31, in some counties, while others, Seminole among them, run it through Sunday, FOX 35 reported.

Any site works until Sunday

Until early voting closes, a registered Seminole voter can vote at any of the seven locations, whatever their home precinct. Winter Springs itself has no early voting site, so the nearest options are in Casselberry and Oviedo:

  • Casselberry: Jean Rhein Central Branch Library, 215 Oxford Road
  • Oviedo: Oviedo Aquatic Center, 148 Oviedo Blvd.
  • Oviedo: East Branch Library, 310 N. Division St.
  • Longwood: West Branch Library, 245 N. Hunt Club Blvd.
  • Lake Mary: Northwest Branch Library, 580 Green Way Blvd.
  • Sanford: Supervisor of Elections office, 1500 E. Airport Blvd.
  • Sanford: North Branch Library, 150 N. Palmetto Ave.

Each site also has a secure intake station where a finished mail ballot can be dropped off during early voting hours.

Tuesday works differently

On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, the any-site option ends. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and each voter has to go to the polling place assigned to their precinct.

The elections office has a polling place lookup and a list of 2026 location changes on voteseminole.gov, and it is flagging one change in particular: voters in Precinct 55 have a new Election Day location and are asked to confirm it before heading out. Voters already in line at 7 p.m. will still get to vote, according to FOX 35.

A mail ballot is counted only if the elections office receives it by 7 p.m. Tuesday, and postmarks are not considered. After Sunday, the intake stations at early voting sites close, and ballots can be returned in person at the Sanford elections office during business hours.

Bring photo and signature ID

Florida law requires voters to show identification with both a photo and a signature, either on one card or on two that together cover both, the elections office says. A voter without acceptable ID is given a provisional ballot. The voter information card the county mails out does not count as ID, FOX 35 noted.

The elections office can be reached at 407-585-8683.
