A group of Florida election supervisors asked state Secretary of State Cord Byrd on Tuesday to give more than a dozen counties additional flexibility to vote in the 2024 election, citing recent back-to-back hurricanes.

Florida Election Supervisors, an association comprising the top election officer in each county, asked Byrd in a letter for numerous deadline extensions and changes to polling place locations for western counties in Florida, including those in the purple Tampa region, that had been ravaged by hurricanes Helene and Milton.
