New Voter Cards Mailed

The new cards will provide voters with their district and precinct numbers and polling places.

 

As part of the recent redistricting process, which included redrawing precinct lines the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections office is mailing out voter information cards to the 695,000 registered voters in the county, according to a press release issued today.

The new cards will provide voters with their district and precinct numbers and
polling places.

"With the August 14 primary election rapidly approaching, it's important that
voters take a good look at all of the information on their cards since there
may be changes to their districts, precinct number and polling place," said
Earl Lennard, Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections. "If you vote on
Election Day, you must vote in your polling place, so please be sure to check
your new voter information cards and become familiar with where your polling
place is located."

Election day voters are advised to bring photo and signature identification to
the polls to avoid delays.

"The November ballot will be lengthy," Lennard said. "So I am encouraging
voters to consider Vote By Mail - a secure and convenient way to cast your
ballot from the comfort of your own home.  Please go to our website or call
the office to request your Vote By Mail ballot."

Voters who do not receive a new Voter Information Card by July 9 are
encouraged to contact the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Office
at (813) 744-5900. Voters can also check their registration status, find their
polling place and request a Vote By Mail Ballot by visiting
www.VoteHillsborough.org.
