Flooding forces Brevard to move Election Day voting for eight precincts in Melbourne and Palm Bay areas

The Brevard County Supervisor of Elections Office is temporarily moving Election Day voting for eight precincts to different sites because of the flooding, according to a release from Supervisor of Elections Tim Bobanic. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters must cast their ballot at their own precinct's polling place. WESH also reported the changes.

These are the moves the office has announced:

• Precincts 307, 512 and 525: from Max K. Rodes Park Community Center to New Shiloh Christian Center, 3900 Sarno Rd., Melbourne
• Precinct 309: from Veterans Memorial Complex to New Shiloh Christian Center, 3900 Sarno Rd., Melbourne
• Precinct 306: from Eddie Lee Taylor, Sr. Community Center to Joseph N. Davis Community Center, 2547 Bruce D. Buggs St., Melbourne
• Precincts 323 and 509: from Front Street Civic Center to Joseph N. Davis Community Center, 2547 Bruce D. Buggs St., Melbourne
• Precinct 517: from Faith Baptist Church of Palm Bay to Palm Bay City Hall Council Chambers, 120 Malabar Rd. SE, Palm Bay

"For the safety and security of our election workers and the voters of Brevard, it is necessary to relocate a couple of precinct polling locations due to these unprecedented circumstances," Bobanic said in the release. The office says more changes are possible and asks voters to check VoteBrevard.gov before heading out. The office's Find Your Precinct tool and your Voter Information Card show your precinct number, and the elections office can be reached at 321-290-VOTE (8683).

The National Weather Service still has a Flood Warning for southeastern Brevard, including the Melbourne and Palm Bay area, until 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, so some streets near polling places may still be under water in the morning. Brevard Public Schools are also closed Tuesday. See our flooding coverage for the latest alerts.
