| TAMPA: Beginning Monday, July 21st, both Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Offices will be open to the public from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Supervisor Johnson said, “In an effort to make registering to vote easier and to give voters more opportunity to update changes in their voter registration, our office will be open extended hours. Voters can now come in before or after work. An individual voter’s registration being correct is the key to voter participation in the election process and we want to be as accessible as possible to the voters of Hillsborough County.” The new schedule, which is being piloted through the November 4th General Election is made possible by Voter Services and other staff members working an extended, four day work week, with rotating days off, to ensure complete coverage in all areas of the Office Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm. “As the Primary and General Elections approach, we hope the voters will find this convenience beneficial,” Supervisor Johnson said.
