The deadline to register to vote or to update party affiliation was Feb. 18. Florida does allow for early voting at polling stations across the state. Polls are open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. While most of the state is in the eastern time zone, a small part of Florida’s Panhandle is located in the central time zone.
