TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - After months of candidates inundating voters with commercials and texts in attempts to win their votes, the time to cast ballots has finally arrived.

Many Leon County residents have already voted . As of about noon Monday, the Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office has received more than 110,000 ballots, with more than 76,000 of those coming from early voters. As of Monday, the county reports about a 59% voter turnout.

Early voting ended Sunday in Leon County. But the remaining 41% of registered voters in the Capital County still have one more chance to cast their ballot: Election Day, which is Tuesday.

Polls will be open in Leon County on Tuesday, November 5 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Leon County Supervisor of Elections Office urges residents to verify their polling location online. You can do so by clicking here . You can also view your sample ballot at that link.

When you show up to vote, make sure to bring your ID . Upon arrival, a poll worker will ask you to verify your name and address before handing you your ballot.

It is not too late to turn in your Vote-by-Mail ballots. The Supervisor of Elections Office accepts those until 7 p.m. on Election Day. While it is too late to try to mail the ballot, voters can still hand-deliver completed Vote-by-Mail ballots to the Elections Office at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway.

Family members are also allowed to drop off Vote-by-Mail ballots.

If you cannot make it to your polling location on Election Day, you have two options, according to the Supervisor of Elections Office:

  • You can go to the Elections Center at 2990-1 Apalachee Parkway to emergency vote.
  • You can have a family member pick up a Vote-by-Mail ballot for you.
  • The Supervisor of Elections Office notes that the second option has special requirements: "To vote this way, voters must give a reason they cannot vote at their regular polling place. A family member can also be designated to pick up a voter's Vote-by-Mail ballot for them with a completed designee form."
