Early Voting for Pasco County Residents.
Early Voting in the General Election
BE AN INFORMED VOTER Election season is often a stressful time. Numerous state and local battles leave many of us with headaches, such as wondering whom to vote for, and which office. How many of us ask ourselves before we vote, "How do I know what my congressional, state senate, and state house districts are?" The districts in which you are eligible to vote are indicated on your voter identification card issued by the Supervisor of Elections. Pasco County is in the 5th & 9th Congressional Districts; represented by the 10th, 11th, & 12th State Senate districts, and by the 44th, 45th, 46th, 48th, 61st, & 62nd State House districts.
