Some Florida voters are casting ballots at temporary polling places on Tuesday after recent flooding made their regular voting sites unusable, according to the Florida Division of Elections.

The relocations were made under an executive order issued Monday and state election law. The division's current list, updated Tuesday morning, covers affected precincts in eight counties and cautions that it is subject to change as information becomes available.

Only the listed precincts are affected; other polling places in those counties remain open as usual. Polls across Florida are open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. local time.

Voters in affected precincts can find their temporary voting location on the Division of Elections' emergency and disaster election resources page.
