TAMPA, Fla. – Election season is here and early voting in Hillsborough County has begun.
The Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections Website says, “As long as you’re registered to vote in Hillsborough County, you can vote in any Early Voting site we have open. This is different from Election Day voting, when you must vote in the polling place assigned to your precinct.”

- Florida Driver License
- Florida ID Card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
- U.S. Passport
- Debit or Credit Card
- Military ID
- Student ID
- Retirement Center ID
- Neighborhood Association ID

- Veteran Health ID (issued by VA)
- Concealed Weapon License (issued pursuant to s. 790.06)
- Government Employee IDIf your photo ID does not include your signature, you will be asked to provide another ID that has your signature.
