Palm Beach voters headed to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in the 2024 Florida primary.
This year’s election includes choices for Democratic and Republican Party voters for such seats as county commission, state attorney, Port of Palm Beach, and state House and congressional races.
Florida is a closed primary election state, which means only voters who are registered members of political parties may vote for respective party candidates or nominees for an office in a primary election, including a presidential preference primary election.
Palm Beach residents who did not vote by mail or in person during the early voting period that ended Sunday have the opportunity to cast their ballots Tuesday at the town’s three polling locations — St. Edward Parish Hall at 165 N. County Road; the Mandel Recreation Center at 340 Seaview Ave.; and the South Fire-Rescue Station at 2185 S. Ocean Blvd.
Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will close at 7 p.m.
Turnout was light but steady throughout the day Tuesday, save for the Mandel Recreation Center, which experienced especially light voter turn out by midday.
