HART Takes You There: Early Voting!

HART is helping Hillsborough County residents make their voices heard by showing residents how to use HART service to reach 21 Early Voting locations during the 2026 Primary and General Elections.

Early Voting for the Primary Election will take place August 3–16, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registered Hillsborough County voters may cast their ballot or drop off a completed Vote by Mail ballot at any Early Voting location during operating hours.

Customers can visit HART's Early Voting page to:

• Find the HART routes serving their preferred Early Voting location
• View the HART Early Voting Service Map
• Download a complete list of locations and corresponding routes
• Plan a trip to their preferred Early Voting location

Customers are encouraged to plan their trip using the Transit app or the trip-planning tools available at GoHART.org. Riders should also allow sufficient travel time and check for service alerts before beginning their trip.

Early Voting locations differ from Election Day polling places. On Election Day, voters must cast their ballot at the polling place assigned to their precinct.
