The following press release appeared on the All Voting is Local website https://allvotingislocal.org on March 25, 2026:

TALLAHASSEE – All Voting is Local, Black Voters Matter, and a broad coalition including elected officials, neighborhood associations, places of worship, and local, statewide, and national nonpartisan civic engagement organizations sent a letter today to Pinellas Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus to urge her to open an early voting site in South St. Petersburg.

“Voters in South St. Petersburg continue to face limited access due to the lack of an early voting site,” the letter reads. “Currently, the only early voting site serving South Pinellas County for the 2026 primary elections is located downtown at the Supervisor of Elections Office. A second early voting site in Gulfport will only open during the general election. For many voters in this area, the lack of other early voting sites raises both logistical and historical concerns that warrant thoughtful consideration.”
