How does the Supervisor of Elections notify voters that their polling place has changed?
State law requires that legal ads be published in a countywide newspaper and that all registered voters in a precinct be notified by mail if the precinct’s polling place has changed since the previous election. The Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections office publishes a legal ad and sends postcards as required every time a polling place is changed. Poll workers are also instructed to place signs at the former polling place on Election Day to notify voters of the new polling place and give directions.
