PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — Election Day is nearly here, but this year, some Tampa Bay voters will be heading to different polling locations than in years past.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton forced some polling locations to close, due to damage.

One of these buildings is the Treasure Island Community Center.

Like many buildings in the city, the community center flooded during Hurricane Helene.

City spokesperson Jason Beisel said they knew almost immediately once seeing the interior after Helene that it wouldn’t be possible for people to vote there on election day.

“Twenty-two years it’s been a polling place,” he said. “This year is the first year we’re going to have to move it because of the storm damage.”

Working with Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus, they set out to find a new location and were able to find one close at Temple Beth-El.

Marcus said this isn’t the only location that’s needed to move, as 25 in the county were damaged from Helene and Milton.

“We did have a reduction in polling places,” she said. “We had to move a lot of voters to different locations and combined locations or brand-new locations.”

This community center is not the only polling location that’s changed because of hurricane damage.

Changes had to be made in many Tampa Bay counties, so if you are unsure of where to go on Election Day, check out your county’s supervisor or elections website.
