Dear Eileen,

Gov. Charlie Crist has just declared "a state of emergency" in Florida, due to the overwhelming number of Floridians eager to cast their votes early.

That's why yesterday he issued an executive order to dramatically expand early voting.

Effective immediately, every early voting site in the state will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. through Friday, October 31st, and for a total of 12 hours between 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 1st, and 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 2nd.

To find your Early Vote location now, visit FL.VoteForChange.com and vote early right away.

Certain locations may not be open on Sunday. If you have questions about weekend hours at your nearest location or anything else, please call 1-, or contact your county's Supervisor of Elections.

The executive order not only extends the Early Vote deadline, it also increases the time that locations are open weekdays to 12 hours a day -- beyond the 8 hours a day mandated by state law.

It is crucial that everyone who is eligible and eager to vote be able to participate and have their voice heard. And now with the extended hours, thousands more will have that opportunity.

We encourage Floridians to continue casting their votes before Election Day, either at an early voting location or by mail, and to participate in this election -- because voting is democracy in action.

Find your location now, and bring your friends and family with you to cast your ballot for change:

And again, any questions, please call 1-.

Thanks,

Steve
