St. Petersburg Voting Precincts and Polling Places

Precinct lookup, the 2026 Pinellas redistricting, early voting at the County Building and the city seats on the November 3, 2026 ballot.


Short answer: St. Petersburg voting precincts are set by the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections, and a voter finds theirs with the Find Precinct and Polling Place tool on VotePinellas.gov. Pinellas County has 288 precincts after 2026 redistricting, and about 99 percent of voters kept their polling place. On Election Day, November 3, 2026, polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the assigned precinct; early voting runs October 19 to November 1 at any Pinellas site, including 501 First Ave. N in St. Pete.

How does a St. Petersburg voter find their precinct and polling place?

A St. Petersburg voter finds their precinct with the Find Precinct and Polling Place tool on VotePinellas.gov, run by the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections, by typing a house number and picking a street name.

The steps are short. The lookup asks for the house number, typed by hand rather than pasted, and then offers matching Pinellas County street names as letters are entered; a street such as 66th Street N is found by typing only 66th (Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections). The precinct number and Election Day polling place appear below the form once the street is chosen.

Precincts matter only on Election Day. Florida law says a voter who chooses Election Day must vote at his or her assigned precinct or polling location (Florida Division of Elections), and the Pinellas office puts it plainly: voters are required by law to vote in their home precinct (Supervisor of Elections). A St. Pete resident who has moved across town should update the address first, by calling 727-464-VOTE (8683) or filing an Address Change Form, to avoid delays at the polls (Supervisor of Elections).

One trap catches St. Petersburg voters every cycle: the Supervisor of Elections warns that a polling place for a county election may be different from the polling place for a municipal election (Supervisor of Elections). The city's own guide for November 2026 repeats the point, saying the polling place may not be the same location used in past elections (City of St. Petersburg). Checking the lookup a few days before each election is the safe habit.

How many precincts does Pinellas County have after the 2026 redistricting?

Pinellas County, which includes every St. Petersburg precinct, went from 286 to 288 precincts in 2026 after a special congressional redistricting, and the county commission approved the new lines on May 19, 2026.

The Supervisor of Elections reported the increase in precincts from 286 to 288 because the office does not split precincts along congressional lines (Supervisor of Elections, June 22, 2026). Under the county charter the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners had to vote on the boundaries, and it unanimously approved them during the May 19, 2026, meeting.

The congressional map changed more than the precinct map. The state's new lines changed the Pinellas district numbers from 13 and 14 to 13 and 16, and 273,795 Pinellas voters now have a new congressional district (Supervisor of Elections). Even so, 94 percent of the precincts have no boundary changes and approximately 99 percent of all voters will continue to vote at their current polling place.

Every registered Pinellas voter was mailed a new Voter Information Card, starting the week of June 22, 2026 and running through mid-July (Supervisor of Elections). Voter Information Cards are not required to vote and are for informational purposes only, and Supervisor of Elections Julie Marcus asked voters to review the name, address and party affiliation on the new card to make sure it is correct.

Where and when can St. Petersburg residents vote early for November 3, 2026?

St. Petersburg residents can vote early from Monday, October 19 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, at any Pinellas County early voting site, including Pinellas County Election Services in the County Building at 501 First Ave. N.

The city's election guide, published October 6, 2026 as part of its St. Pete Votes! campaign, gives those dates and says voters can vote early at any early voting site in Pinellas County (City of St. Petersburg). Early voting ignores precinct lines: a voter who lives in Old Northeast can vote at a site in Clearwater or Largo, which is not allowed on Election Day (Supervisor of Elections).

The Supervisor of Elections FAQ says early voting in Pinellas County is held in all Supervisor of Elections offices for all countywide elections, with additional locations provided for general countywide elections (Supervisor of Elections). The St. Petersburg office sits in the County Building at 501 First Ave. N, with its entrance on Fifth St. North (Supervisor of Elections). For the final weekend, the city has arranged overflow parking at the St. Pete Coliseum (535 4th Ave. N) on Saturday, Oct. 31, and Sunday, Nov. 1 (City of St. Petersburg).

A caution for city-only elections: municipalities are not legally required to provide early voting for their elections (Supervisor of Elections). The 2026 St. Petersburg races share the November 3 countywide ballot, so early voting covers them this year.

What should a St. Petersburg voter bring to the polls on Election Day?

A St. Petersburg voter needs a current and valid photo ID with a signature at the assigned Pinellas County polling place, which is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.

The Florida Division of Elections lists the accepted photo IDs, starting with a Florida driver license, a Florida identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and a United States passport, and continuing with debit or credit cards, military, student, retirement center and neighborhood association identification (Florida Division of Elections). A St. Pete voter whose photo ID has no signature will be asked for a second ID that has one.

Polls are always open 7 am to 7 pm on Election Day by state law, and anyone in line at 7:00 p.m. still gets to vote (Supervisor of Elections; Division of Elections). A voter without proper ID can still vote a provisional ballot; in Pinellas, evidence of eligibility can be given to the canvassing board by 5 pm the second day after an election (Supervisor of Elections).

A St. Petersburg voter who asked for a mail ballot but decides to vote in person should bring the mail ballot kit to the polling place so a poll worker can cancel it; a voted mail ballot cannot be accepted at a polling place (Supervisor of Elections). The ExpressVote ballot marking device, with an audio headset, Braille keypad and sip-and-puff accessories, is available for voters with disabilities.

Which City of St. Petersburg seats are on the 2026 ballot?

The 2026 St. Petersburg city ballot elects the Mayor and the City Council members for Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8, with a primary on August 18, 2026 and the general election on November 3, 2026.

The City Clerk's 2026 Elections page lists the primary on August 18 and the general on November 3, and says the elections for Mayor and City Council Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 carry terms that begin the first Thursday in January 2027 and run to the first Thursday in January 2031 (City of St. Petersburg City Clerk). A council seat is tied to a district: a council candidate must have lived in the declared district for at least the past 12 months as of the date of the primary election, and a mayoral candidate must have lived in the city for the same period.

The table names the members now holding each seat on the St. Petersburg City Council page (City of St. Petersburg); it does not list candidates. The November 3 ballot also carries City of St. Petersburg referendum questions and charter amendments, listed on the Supervisor of Elections general election page (Supervisor of Elections). Questions about city qualifying and future city elections go to the City Clerk at [email protected] or 727-893-7448 (City Clerk).

Where is the Supervisor of Elections office for St. Petersburg voters?

The Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections serves St. Petersburg from the County Building at 501 First Ave. N, open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, with the main Election Service Center at 13001 Starkey Road in Largo.

All three Supervisor of Elections offices, St. Petersburg, the Pinellas County Courthouse at 315 Court St., Room 117 in Clearwater, and the Starkey Lakes Corporate Center in Largo, keep the same weekday hours, which are extended during early voting (Supervisor of Elections). The main phone is 727-464-8683 (Supervisor of Elections).

Pinellas County had 614,073 registered voters as of October 14, 2026: 243,834 Republicans, 193,365 Democrats, 152,951 with no party affiliation and 23,923 in other parties (Supervisor of Elections). The office does not post a St. Petersburg-only count on that page.

Last verified: October 15, 2026, on the Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections website. One labeling slip is worth knowing about: the Supervisor of Elections ballot drop off notice, last updated October 9, 2026, describes the drop off locations for the November 2, 2026 General Election (Supervisor of Elections), while the county calendar, the general election page and the city guide all give Tuesday, November 3, 2026 (Supervisor of Elections). November 3 is the date St. Petersburg voters should plan around. Later dates on the Pinellas calendar include municipal elections on March 9, 2027 and November 2, 2027.
