Early voting

You can vote at any early voting site the county opens, not just the one nearest your home. The Supervisor of Elections lists the sites on its early voting page. It also lets you book an optional 15-minute appointment to skip the line through its appointment system. Early voting sites use ExpressVote equipment, and you can drop off a completed mail ballot at any site during early voting hours.

Registering

The deadline to register for the Nov. 3 election was Oct. 5. You can still register, or update your address or name, for later elections at the state’s RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov site or in person at the Supervisor of Elections’ main office or the North County Branch Office in Palm Beach Gardens. If you moved within the county, update your address so you are sent to the right polling place.

Voting by mail

From the Division of Elections’ vote-by-mail page:

Ask the Supervisor of Elections for a ballot by 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22. You need your Florida driver’s license or ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Your voted ballot must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day. A postmark does not count.
Drop it at an early voting site during early voting hours, or at a Supervisor of Elections office, including the North County Branch Office.
Check your ballot’s status with the state’s vote-by-mail lookup.

What to bring

The Supervisor of Elections asks for one or two forms of current ID that together show your photo and signature. Accepted photo IDs include:

Florida driver’s license or Florida ID card
U.S. passport
Debit or credit card
Military, student, retirement center or neighborhood association ID
Public assistance ID or Veteran Health ID card
Concealed weapon license
A federal, state, county or city government employee ID

If you forget your ID you can still vote, but on a provisional ballot that the county’s Canvassing Board later reviews.

On the ballot: the results

The Supervisor of Elections’ unofficial results showed all 814 precincts reporting at 2:58 a.m. Nov. 4, with some mail ballots still to be counted. Two items that touch every Palm Beach Gardens property owner:
