Early Voting Begins Soon in Manatee County: Here Are the Locations

With the U.S. presidential election three weeks away, Manatee County voters are preparing to cast their ballots. Early voting in the county will be open from Oct. 21 through Nov. 2, allowing voters to visit any of the eight designated early voting sites daily between 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Despite Hurricanes Helene and Milton recently passing through, none of the early voting locations sustained damage, according to county election officials. This means that all planned sites will be fully operational to accommodate early voters.
