The general election is less than three weeks away.
While two hurricanes distracted many in Florida, and residents will be recovering for months or years to come, there is no ignoring the upcoming presidential election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
Many are fully aware of the battle between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris to become the nation’s next president, along with several Florida amendments that will be on the ballot. But also on the ballot will be several other state and local races, many of which depend on where you live.
If you want to see a sample ballot, here’s what you should know.
The general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5.
