Floridians cast ballots today, November 3, in the midterm elections. Polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The voting determines the state's political direction for the next four years.
The state election covers the governorship and a special U.S. Senate race. Two federal House seats are also up for grabs. Local contests include mayoral races in Orange, Deltona, and New Smyrna.
Voters in Orange and Osceola counties choose commissioners. Osceola residents select members for the county school board. These local decisions affect regional governance and education funding.
Three constitutional amendments appear on the ballot. Amendment 3 proposes the elimination of property taxes. This measure could directly impact homeowners and Osceola public schools. The other two amendments address distinct state issues.
Telemundo 31 provides real-time updates starting at 7:00 p.m. The coverage tracks results for federal and state races. It also monitors the three statewide ballot initiatives.
The network reports on candidate reactions as results emerge. Updates cover contests in Orange, Osceola, Volusia, and Seminole counties. The goal is to inform the Hispanic community of decisions shaping central Florida.
