Summary

Heavy rain and flash flooding from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 disrupted voting in Florida, forcing officials to move polling places in Brevard, Highlands, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties. Reports differ on the count: one says 18 sites, another 21 sites covering 30 precincts, and one cites 21 sites across eight counties. Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 26-227 declaring a state of emergency in seven counties and letting election supervisors seek alternative arrangements. Brevard was hit hardest, with a reported 1-in-100-year flood event and over 23 inches of rain in some areas. Voters were told to check updated precinct assignments and allow extra travel time. Storms also disrupted Election Day in Oklahoma, Utah and Colorado.
