Early voting in Duval County closes at 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. That leaves Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, as the only option for Beaches-area voters who have not yet cast a ballot.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Duval County Supervisor of Elections. But there is one critical difference from early voting: voters must go to their assigned precinct polling place, not any site they choose.

Find your polling place

Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland said voters can find their assigned precinct and polling place address on their voter information card, on their sample ballot or by using the Polling Location Finder at duvalelections.gov. The office mailed sample ballots to 512,378 registered Duval County voters and emailed them to another 100,436 in October, according to an Oct. 13 announcement from the elections office.

To use the online finder, type in your house number and street name. The system will suggest matching street names as you type. Addresses cannot be copied and pasted into the tool.

What to bring

Every voter must present a current, valid photo ID with a signature, according to the Florida Division of Elections. Accepted forms include a Florida driver license, Florida identification card, U.S. passport, debit or credit card, military ID, student ID and government employee ID. Several other forms qualify; the full list is on the Division of Elections website.

If your photo ID does not include your signature, you will need a second form of ID that does.

No ID? You can still vote.

Voters who arrive without proper identification can cast a provisional ballot, according to the Florida Division of Elections. The provisional ballot will count as long as the voter is eligible, voted in the correct precinct and the signature on the provisional ballot matches the one in the voter's registration record. Voters who cast a provisional ballot have until 5 p.m. on the second day after the election to present additional proof of eligibility.

Still in line at closing? Stay put.

Any voter waiting in line at 7 p.m. will be allowed to cast a ballot, according to state election rules.

Voters with questions can reach the Duval County Elections Office at 904-255-VOTE (8683) or visit duvalelections.gov.
