Here is a practical, nonpartisan guide to the information Brandon voters need. Important election dates
October 19 – November 1: Early voting Hillsborough County will operate 27 early-voting locations from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Registered county voters may use any of these locations during the early-voting period.

Two convenient locations for many Brandon-area residents are:
Bloomingdale Regional Public Library
Robert L. Gilder Elections Service Center
Voters should consult the official county list for all 27 locations and choose the one that best fits their schedule. Planning to vote by mail?
Florida voters must request a vote-by-mail ballot; one is not automatically mailed to every registered voter.
After completing a ballot, voters can return it by mail or through authorized ballot return options.
The Supervisor of Elections recommends allowing approximately a week for mail delivery. Completed ballots must reach an elections office by 7 p.m. on November 3.
Vote-by-mail ballots cannot be dropped off at regular Election Day polling places.
Residents can track their ballot through the county elections website. Check before you go
Before voting, residents should confirm their registration information, review their sample ballot, and locate their assigned Election Day precinct if they plan to vote on November 3.
For in-person voting, bring an accepted photo identification that includes a signature, or the additional signature identification required if the photo ID does not contain one. Official election information
