Polk County offers 10 early voting sites and secure ballot drop-off stations for 2026 elections

Polk County voters have ten early voting sites and secure ballot intake stations available for countywide elections. These options provide convenient ways for registered voters to cast their ballots, differing from Election Day procedures where voters must use their assigned polling location.

In addition to the ten early voting sites, secure ballot intake stations are also located at the two election offices in Polk County. Voters must present a valid photo-signature identification to cast a ballot at any of these locations. A voter information card, while helpful, does not count as valid identification.

Early voting sites are not available for city elections. For countywide elections, registered Polk County voters can cast their ballot at any designated early voting site. Specific dates and times for early voting vary by election, and residents should check the election web page for the most current information.

The comprehensive list of early voting sites includes locations across the county. In Bartow, the Polk Street Community Center at 1255 Polk Street serves as a site. Davenport residents can use the Polk Sheriffs NE District Office, Community Room, located at 1100 Dunson Road. Haines City offers the Haines City Library at 111 N 6th Street.
