Not here in the Villages. As I pointed out I am asking about Florida. The rooms in the rec centers which are to be used for voting are closed the day before, not the night before. Your experience in NY may not apply here. You still didn't tell me if the rules in Florida should be changed so that schools are closed on election day. That would be planning ahead. School calendars are finalized in the summer or before. Some schools need to clear changes well ahead of time because of negotiated contracts. An extra day might need to be added to make up for the cancelled day or days. Planning is what I am asking about.
