For those who requested and received a Vote-by-Mail ballot, they can be returned by mail or dropped off at a secure box at a polling location during its hours of operation.
Despite the morning rain, Pat George went to the county's elections department office to cast her ballot. She said she wanted to avoid the lines.
"I just wanted to make sure I got my vote in and make sure it counted. I always vote and I just wanted to be here on the first day," she said.
George said she's closely following a couple of races.
"Well the primaries for the senate and the governor, yeah," she said.
George Valls said he came because he thinks it's time for some new leadership.
"The governor and the senate specifically, I think we need change," he said.

When you use in-person early voting, make sure you come prepared with the proper ID.
Bring a photo id and you also have to bring something with your signature on it. So the best thing to do is bring your driver's license or state identification card because they have both.
And if you're waiting for Election Day, remember you must go to your assigned precinct — and beware, many have changed because of redistricting. Check their voter's information card for the correct polling location.
Florida is a closed primary state. Only voters who are registered members of a political party may vote for their respective party's candidates in a primary election.
