Information about these changes is also included in sample ballots that were recently mailed to voters who have not requested vote-by-mail ballots. Notices will also be posted at the former polling places on Election Day.

All polling locations are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 23. For more information or assistance, voters can call the elections office at (941) 861-8619 or visit SarasotaVotes.gov.
