We are less than four months away from Election Day 2020, but early voting has already begun. Voters in Florida began casting their ballots on mid-July. In the upcoming weeks, total 32 states and the District of Columbia allow early voting with a few restrictions, including key battle ground states like Ohio, Florida, and Colorado. Some potential tipping point states, like New Hampshire and Virginia, do not allow for early voting.
If you’re not already registered to vote, you can do so online at RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. The deadline to register in order to be able to vote in the primary is July 20. You can also register to vote by mail or in person. Registrations by mail must be postmarked by July 20.
