Already voted and got my confirmation via email.

I voted by mail and sent it in the next day.

A good way to avoid the lines on Election Day. In 2020 4 million plus Floridian's voted early including mail ballots. It will probably be more in 2024.

This will be my first presidential election in Florida. What are the lines like on election day?
I have always voted on election day (it used to be the only option) but I don't want to spend hours waiting in line.

When I voted in the 2020 election on Election day, it was at the Lady Lake library. The line was out the door and up to the parking lot. It went fairly quickly but since the election booths were on the 2nd floor, they had to deal with just two elevators and their limited capacities. On the other hand, that did seem to pace things nicely. I was in line at the edge of the parking lot, and back into my car to drive home all within an hour.

That's ON Election day. If you vote early and wait until a few days after the first day, you'll probably see no lines at all.

early voting/Lady Lake has moved to the building behind the Library.. no steps to climb/larger location

Good to hear. I did not like the parking problem when I would go to that library nor the crowds in the library.

I always vote asap.

Just FYI. If you have a bite my mail ballot and are worried about mailing it back, you can drop it off at any early voting location. You tell the poll worker at the door you want to just drop off a mail in ballot and they will send you to the right person. Goes in a locked and secured ballot box and the poll worker makes sure you have sealed and signed it properly. Just an option for those who worry about the mail. And if you drop it off, you can still track it online

Oh no!
 

We have to get rid of mail-in ballots because once you have mail-in ballots, you have crooked elections

Thank you for the mail in ballot tip.

If you vote on Election day, I think a lot depends on where.

This will be our third election here. We vote at Savannah Center and there has never been a wait of more than maybe 15 minutes. The people running the show are super-efficient and the process is both fast and smooth.

Also, if there IS a rather long wait...there are a lot worse places to have to wait than Savannah Center.

Early voting starts on Monday, October 21 in Marion County and Lake County, one day earlier than in Sumter County.

That is interesting. No standard rule for the entire state??
