EARLY VOTING FOR CITY OF SARASOTA RUNOFF STARTS MAY 4
Sarasota County Supervisor of Elections
Kathy Dent will offer early voting for City of
Sarasota residents in the city's May 14 runoff
election beginning Saturday, May 4, and continuing through Saturday, May 11, Dent has
announced.
Eligible voters may also request a mail (absentee) ballot by calling the Supervisor of Elections Office at 861-8618, emailing absentee@
sarasotavotes.com or by visiting the SOE website at www.SarasotaVotes.com and completing an online request.
During that period, eligible voters may cast
their ballots at the Supervisor of Elections Office in the Terrace Building, 2001 Adams Lane,
Sarasota, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily.
Voters who wish to request that an absentee
ballot to be mailed to them must do so no later than 5 p.m., Wednesday, May 8, the news
release notes.
Florida Law requires voters to present photo and signature ID upon entering the polling
place and prior to voting. A voter who appears
at the polls without photo and signature ID
will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot, a
news release says.
Absentee ballots must be returned to the SOE
office no later than 7 p.m. on election night to
be counted.
