You need to bring a valid form of I.D. to vote. Craig Latimer, the Supervisor of Elections, said voter turnout has already been strong.

"We’re having a pretty robust turnout for Plant City Election," said Latimer to Tampa Bay 28's Keely McCormick. "We’re ahead of where we were the last Plant City Election. We’ve had over 1900 people vote so far between vote by mail and early vote."
Unofficial results will begin coming in after polls close at 7 p.m. Latimer explained what happens if no candidate secures the majority vote.
"In this race if somebody doesn’t get 50 percent plus one, then the top two vote-getters will go to a runoff," Latimer said.
If you still have a vote-by-mail ballot, it must be returned to a supervisor of elections office by 7 tonight.
