A final day of early voting for primaries and August nonpartisan elections, then it’s Election Day

Sunday marks the last day of early voting in Broward and Palm Beach counties for the primary and nonpartisan elections. And then Election Day is coming Tuesday, Aug. 20.

Florida Democrats and Republicans are holding primaries to choose candidates for the fall election . And everyone can vote in elections for a range of offices, including judges and school board members.

Registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in primaries to nominate candidates for the November general election.

Both parties have a U.S. Senate contest, though the races aren’t necessarily competitive. U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., for example, is essentially guaranteed to win the nomination for a second term even though there are two other names on the ballot.

Broward and Palm Beach counties have multiple primaries for people seeking their party’s nominations for Congress, Florida Legislature and County Commission. Those are held in districts, so not every voter will have primaries for all those offices on their ballots.
