Sunday marked the end of early voting for Florida’s Aug. 20 primary election wth people steadily streaming into voting booths across the state to cast ballots.
Between Miami-Dade, Broward and Monroe Counties, 56 polling locations were open. Though residents can no longer go to the polls to early vote, those submitting mail-in ballots must do so by 7 p.m. August 20.
Here’s what South Florida polling places looked like:
