Palm Beach County's 28 early voting sites open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily Oct. 19 to Nov. 1. Ezell Hester Community Center is the only one inside Boynton Beach.

Early voting for the Nov. 3 general election opens Monday at 28 sites across Palm Beach County. Every site is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day through Sunday, Nov. 1, weekends included. That is 14 days.

The dates and hours come from the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections’ 2026 General Election page. Any registered voter in the county can vote at any of the 28 sites, not only the one nearest home.

The sites nearest Boynton Beach

Only one early voting site is inside the city: the Ezell Hester Community Center on North Seacrest Boulevard. A second, the Canyon Branch Library, has a Boynton Beach address but sits west of the city. The Boynton Beach City Library is not on this year’s list.

These are the nearest sites, from the Supervisor of Elections’ general election site map (PDF). Distances are our own, measured in a straight line from City Hall.

Site Address Distance
Ezell Hester Community Center 1901 N. Seacrest Blvd., Boynton Beach about 1 mile north
Delray Beach Community Center 50 NW First Ave., Delray Beach about 4.5 miles south
Lantana Road Branch Library 4020 Lantana Road, Lake Worth about 5 miles northwest
Palm Beach State College, Lake Worth campus 4200 S. Congress Ave., Lake Worth about 6 miles north

The Fladell center was formerly the South County Civic Center. The full list of 28 is on the same map.

You can book an optional 15-minute slot at any site through the county’s early voting appointment page. Walk-ins are always welcome, the early voting page says.

What to bring

Bring a current photo ID with your signature, such as a Florida driver’s license, a U.S. passport or a debit or credit card. If the photo ID has no signature, you will be asked for a second ID that has one. Without ID you can still vote a provisional ballot, which the Canvassing Board reviews later.

The Supervisor of Elections also asks anyone issued a new Florida driver’s license or ID since July 31, 2024, to update their voter record. Those cards carry new numbers.

Mail ballots

  • Ask for one by 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, if you want it mailed. Call 561-656-6208 or email votebymail@votepalmbeach.gov.
  • Drop it off at any early voting site during early voting hours. Do not take it to your Election Day polling place: it will be canceled and you will vote a regular ballot instead.
  • It must arrive by 7 p.m. Nov. 3 at the main office, 4301 Cherry Road in West Palm Beach, or by 5 p.m. at a branch office. The nearest branch is the South County office, 345 S. Congress Ave., Room 103, Delray Beach.

Those details are in the Supervisor of Elections’ general election flyer.

What is on the ballot

The county’s all-contests sample ballot (PDF) lists every race in Palm Beach County. Your own ballot carries only the races for your districts; the Supervisor of Elections’ Voter Dashboard shows it.

Contests every county voter will see include:

  • U.S. senator
  • governor and lieutenant governor
  • attorney general, chief financial officer and commissioner of agriculture
  • clerk of the circuit court and comptroller
  • three proposed amendments to the Florida Constitution, including a larger homestead exemption for non-school property taxes
  • a county question on up to $280 million in general obligation bonds for parks, sports complexes, beach access and trails
  • a school district question on keeping its 1-mill property tax for school safety, school police, mental health, arts and music teachers and teacher pay, from July 1, 2027, to June 30, 2031

A second county question asks about up to $175 million in bonds for Palm Beach County library buildings, repaid from taxes levied in the county Library District. Check your own sample ballot to see whether it is on yours.

Congressional, state legislative, county commission and school board races vary by district. Boynton Beach’s own mayor and commission are not on this ballot. City elections are held in March; our voting guide has the details.
