FLORIDA —The 2024 presidential race is well underway. The general election is coming soon, and voters in Tampa Bay and Central Florida counties can start voting Monday. They have until Sunday, Nov. 3 to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.

Early Monday, VR Systems, Inc., a software company in Tallahassee that manages many of Florida's county elections websites, experienced heavy load times on the first day of early voting, but the websites were operating as expected by Monday afternoon.

Earlier in the day, many people trying to access many county Supervisor of Elections websites were sent to this page and could use the county drop-down menu to get redirected the correct site.
