    Early voting for the 2024 general election is set to begin in Florida in just a few weeks to elect and decide a new president in the race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as members of Florida’s congressional delegation, including the U.S. Senator on two controversial amendments – one on legalizing recreational marijuana and the other on access to abortion.

    The mandatory early voting period in Florida is Saturday, October 26th through Saturday, November 2nd. However, many counties are offering residents a longer period to vote. In Northeast Florida, Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties each offer additional early voting options.
