Know the early-voting dates and hours

For Palm Beach County's 2026 primary:

Choose an official early-voting site

An eligible registered voter in Palm Beach County may vote at any open early-voting site in the county during early-voting days and hours. Election Day works differently: a voter must use the polling place assigned to that voter.

Do not assume a location used in a previous election is open for this one. Review the official location list on the day you plan to vote, choose the site that works for you, and allow enough time to arrive before closing.

Consider the practical parts of your plan:

• Which official location will you use?
• What day and time fit your schedule?
• What current photo and signature identification will you bring?
• Have you confirmed your voter record and party affiliation?
• Have you reviewed your official sample ballot?
• Do you need language or accessibility assistance?

Florida is a closed-primary state, and a voter's party affiliation generally determines which partisan contests appear on that voter's primary ballot. Official election authorities should answer questions about eligibility, a personal voter record, a ballot, or how a rule applies to a specific situation.

Bring current photo and signature identification

Palm Beach County instructs voters to bring one or two forms of valid, current identification that together show a photo and signature. If the photo ID does not include a signature, the voter will be asked for another accepted ID that does.

The official county Early Voting page maintains the current list of accepted identification. A voter who does not bring proper ID may still vote a provisional ballot, which the canvassing board will review for eligibility under Florida law.

Because identification rules matter to whether a voter receives a regular or provisional ballot, review the official list rather than relying on an old screenshot or forwarded message.

Use official sources, not forwarded information

Accurate information is part of accountable service

Paola Branda's commitment to service comes from her own experience as a legal immigrant from Venezuela, a wife and mother of two, a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership, a 15+ year educator and World Languages Department Head, a business operations leader, a humanitarian aid leader, and the founder of Crescendo Step.

Her America First agenda for FL-23 connects seven priorities: lower costs and taxpayer relief; secure borders, legal immigration, and safe communities; education, parents, and opportunity; senior security and healthcare costs; freedom, faith, and religious liberty; clean water, the Everglades, and Florida resilience; and accountable, transparent government.

Helping voters reach accurate official information is one practical part of that commitment to accountable public service.

Help another voter find the official answer

If a friend or relative asks a voting question, help them reach the official election website rather than guessing or repeating an old message.

Make your own plan first. Confirm the site, hours, identification, voter record, and sample ballot that apply to you. Then share the official link with someone else who may need it.

America First. Freedom Always.

Confirm your early-voting plan through official Palm Beach County resources, then remind another voter to check before going.
