Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer said it's important to come out and vote in the other race, including the democratic senate primary.
“In a primary election, a no party affiliate or a minor party can vote in all of the nonpartisan races,” Latimer said. “That means they can vote in school boards; judges and we also have what’s called a universal primary for public defenders.”
Latimer says the county has already sent out 150,000 vote by mail ballots for the upcoming primary around 2,500 of those are heading out overseas to military members and residents abroad.
Primary Election Day is August 20.
