What happened

Updated 3:48pm ET

Flooding forced polling-place changes for 33 precincts across eight Florida counties for Tuesday’s election, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
Gov. Ron DeSantis declared an emergency in seven counties Monday, allowing election officials to seek approval for temporary voting sites where original locations were unsafe.
The National Weather Service reported more than two feet of rain in southern Brevard County, with widespread flash flooding along Florida’s east coast.
Flooding closed roads, stalled vehicles and entered homes, and state election officials posted polling-place changes online for affected voters.
Flood warnings remain in effect in some areas through Wednesday, and emergency officials are urging residents to monitor weather updates and road closures.
