Seminole County Early Voting: Seven Sites Open 7 to 7 Through Sunday, November 1

Seminole County's early voting runs through Sunday, November 1, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, and any registered Seminole voter can vote at any of the seven sites, according to the county voting guide built from Supervisor of Elections materials. The sites are the Supervisor of Elections office in Sanford; the Jean Rhein Central library in Casselberry, the East library in Oviedo, the North library in Sanford, the Northwest library in Lake Mary and the West library in Longwood; and the Oviedo Aquatic Center. Every site has a secure drop box for mail ballots during early-voting hours.

Election Day itself, Tuesday, November 3, works differently: voters must use the polling place for their own precinct, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and anyone in line at 7 p.m. can still vote. Eleven Seminole precincts have new polling places this year, so the guide urges voters to check even if they voted in 2024; Precinct 55's new site is the Eastmonte Civic Center, 830 Magnolia Drive in Altamonte Springs. The Supervisor of Elections office is not a polling place on Election Day.

Mail ballots carry their own deadlines. The request deadline passed on October 22, and a voted mail ballot must reach the Supervisor of Elections by 7 p.m. on Election Day — postmarks do not count. Ballots can be dropped at the elections office, 1500 East Airport Boulevard in Sanford, on weekdays, or at any early-voting site during voting hours through November 1; on Election Day the office is the only place that accepts them. One practical note from the guide: SunRail, which serves Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood and Altamonte Springs, runs on weekdays only, so it does not run this early-voting weekend, though it does run on Election Day.
