ORLANDO, Florida – It’s mid-August and getting used to the new school year.
As the days get shorter, the end of summer approaches.
Here are some events happening this weekend in Central Florida:
• End of early voting in central Florida
Those who want to vote early in person still have a few days left, depending on which county they live in. Most counties allow voters to vote at any early voting site.
So far, the early turnout in Central Florida is…pretty dismal.
While many races are in primary mode, school boards and other nonpartisan races could be final unless no one gets a majority. This is your chance to have your say. @WFTV pic.twitter.com/PHxZapfFPN
