TAMPA, Fla. — Early voting begins for Tampa’s city council runoff election to fill four vacant seats.

Mayor Jane Castor and city council members Gwen Henderson and Bill Carlson won their races in March, but the remaining seats will head to a runoff election on April 25.

The Candidates: 

None of the candidates in the remaining four races received more than 50% of the vote, which triggered the runoff.

Tampa voters can cast their ballots for the seats in City Council District 1, 2, and 3, while District 6 is solely for residents who live in that area.

Early voting runs from Monday, April 17 through April 23 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at seven locations across Tampa, including:

  • Fred B. Karl County Center

  • Robert L. Gilder Elections Service Center

  • C. Blythe Andrews, Jr. Public Library

  • Jan Kaminis Platt Regional Library

  • New Tampa Regional Library

  • North Tampa Branch Library

  • West Tampa Branch Library

Voters can also drop their mail-in ballots at any early voting site while they’re open for voting. 

Election Day is April 25.
