Early voting is underway in Orange County ahead of Tuesday’s primary election, with voters able to cast ballots at locations throughout the county through Sunday. 

Early voting began Aug. 3 and continues through Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. The primary includes federal, state and local contests.  

Two early-voting locations are available in Apopka: the Apopka Community Center, 519 S. Central Ave., and the John H. Bridges Community Center, 445 W. 13th St. 

Last Tuesday, about 50 members of the Apopka Progressive Seniors Club voted together at the Bridges Center after attending their weekly meeting in another building on the property. Club members gathered for a group photo before heading to Building A to cast their ballots. 

Members wore red, green and black, which are colors associated with Black liberation. The longtime Apopka organization celebrated its 52nd anniversary in 2025. 

Voters casting ballots in person should bring photo and signature identification. Florida is a closed-primary state, meaning voters must be registered with a political party to vote in that party’s partisan primary. All registered voters may vote in applicable nonpartisan races and issues.  

Election Day polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. 

The most-watched races in the area include Orange County mayor, which will be final if a candidate reaches 50% of the vote, and U.S. House District 11, which features a slate of Republicans and Democrats vying to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster.
