How to Vote in the US Midterms From Palm Beach County: Monday Is Not a Voting Day — Tuesday at Your Own Precinct Is
The two election phrases topping US search this morning are 'last day to vote' and 'how to vote in the us midterms.' In Palm Beach County the answers are simple: there is no early voting today, and the last day is Tuesday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., at the precinct assigned to you.
WEST PALM BEACH — The questions Americans are typing into search engines this morning are the two that decide whether a ballot counts: 'last day to vote' stood No. 2 on the US trending list read this run, and 'how to vote in the us midterms' stood No. 3 and led a second trends list. In Palm Beach County, both answers run through the same fact — Monday, Nov. 2, is not a voting day here at all.
Early voting in the county ended Sunday, Nov. 1, and there is no early voting on Monday, the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections says. The last day to vote in person is Election Day itself, Tuesday, Nov. 3, when polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. — and on Election Day every voter must vote at the polling place assigned to their precinct, not at any of the early voting sites used last week. The assignment is printed on the Voter Information Card and the sample ballot, and can be confirmed through the Precinct Finder at VotePalmBeach.gov or by calling the elections office at (561) 656-6200.
Voters still holding a vote-by-mail ballot have one safe route left: get it to the elections office, not to a polling place — mail ballots cannot be dropped off at an Election Day polling place. To count, a ballot must be received by 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Supervisor of Elections Main Office, or by 5 p.m. Tuesday at a branch office. Monday is therefore the last full day to hand-deliver a mail ballot ahead of the deadline, and Tuesday night's results — and the race calls that follow them — start when those precinct polls close at 7 p.m.
