Supervisor of Elections provides last-minute reminders
for March 8 Municipal Elections 

Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Deborah Clark encourages citizens who plan to vote in the March 8 Municipal Elections to remember the following information to make Election Day go smoothly:

• A resident who was registered to vote by February 7 and who lives within a municipality conducting an election is eligible to vote.
• The following municipalities are conducting elections: Belleair Beach, Gulfport, Kenneth City, Madeira Beach, Seminole, South Pasadena, St. Pete Beach, Tarpon Springs, and Treasure Island. 
• Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.
• Polling places for municipal elections may be different than for countywide elections. Voters are encouraged to confirm their polling places by visiting www.votepinellas.com or calling (727) 464-6788.
• State law requires that a citizen vote in the precinct in which he/she resides. If you have moved, you are required to vote in your new home precinct.
• Please bring photo and signature identification with you to the polls if possible to avoid delays and extra paperwork. Anyone without valid and current ID can vote a provisional ballot. The canvassing board will later determine the validity of any provisional ballots.
• Name and address changes, or signature updates, may be made at any Elections Office or by completing and printing a Voter Registration Application at www.votepinellas.com; signing the application; and returning it to any Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Office. Address changes within the county may also be made by phone. It is important to have a current signature on file to verify the signature on your mail ballot certificate envelope.
• Sample ballots may be viewed at www.votepinellas.com.
• No political activity or campaign signs are allowed inside the polling place or within 100 feet of the polling place entrance. Exit polling is permitted in designated areas as voters are leaving the polls.
• No photography is allowed inside the polling place.
• Mail ballots may be picked up or voted in person at any Elections Office through Election Day. Ballots must be received by 7 p.m. March 8 in any of the three Elections Offices in order to be counted. Mail ballots cannot be accepted at a precinct polling place.
• A voter who requests a mail ballot but later decides to vote at the polling place instead may bring his/her ballot to the polling place to be cancelled and then receive a new ballot to vote at the polls.
• If you have any other election-related questions, please call the Elections Office at (727) 464-6788.
