ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Orange County continues its trend with historic early voting numbers, with some 130,169 people casting ballots as of Monday morning.
Another 93,419 voters have done the same by mail.
At a press conference on Friday, the county announced some enhancements to early voting.
Orange County Supervisor of Elections Glen Gilzean says his office has launched an interactive map that gives the wait times, in real time, at 22 polling locations.
This way, voters can decide on where they want to vote depending on lines.
Officials say voters should have wait times no longer than 15 to 30 minutes when going to vote.
There have been some polling locations where voters had to wait an hour-and-a-half to cast their ballot, and the county wants to prevent that as Election Day draws near. Plans are underway to expand voting locations.
“We have seen an unprecedented amount of turnout over the past four days,” said Orange County Supervisor of Elections Glen Gilzean. “And my office, I’m using the powers under the executive order to expand multiple sites across Orange County.”
Those 10 new sites are expected to be announced soon and will be posted on the Supervisor of Elections website.
