This is the first time Eatonville has had a voting precinct central to where its residents live. “Voting has always been a part of the civil rights especially for the struggles that Black people have had in history,” said Pastor Willie C. Barnes of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church.
Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Democrat running against Senator Rick Scott, Duly-elected State Attorney Monique Worrell-Democrat and other candidates also attended the event. Early voting will ends on November 3rd. Election Day is November 5th. Polls will be open from 7am-7pm. If voters are in line at 7pm, you must be allowed to vote.
