  2. St. Lucie updated its web notice: Precincts 85 and 95, which normally vote at Indian River State College, also move to MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Event Center, with Precincts 67 and 86.
  3. Polling places moved in Brevard, Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties after flooding. St. Lucie's web and printed notices differ on Precincts 67 and 86.
