Early voting ends this weekend
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - Orange County’s Election Supervisor Bill Cowles says he has never seen early voting like this.
“We've already surpassed the early voting numbers for 2014 and 2016,” Cowles said.
Cowles says it may be the way Central Floridians work.
“Most of the people in Orange County don't work a traditional 8-5 Monday through Friday,” he said.
He said they may also be fed up with the campaign mailers, robo-calls and texts bombarding them.
“If you vote, and vote early, your name comes off the list and candidates won't bother you.”
Early voters said the system works.
“I know it's gonna be crazy next week, so I just wanted to get it done. In and out, real quick,” said one voter.
“It was really easy to come and do this,” said another, “as opposed to trying to vote on Tuesday.”
Residents can vote early until 6 p.m. Sunday.
Polls on Tuesday are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
