President Trump's rally in Tampa on Thursday is set to take place at Raymond James Stadium, the location of an Early Voting site in Hillsborough County.
The Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections office issued a statement on Wednesday saying it has no affiliation with the campaign event scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the stadium's north parking lot.
Florida statute bars candidates from campaigning within 150 feet of an Early Voting site, but the elections office said it cannot prohibit events outside of that "no solicitation zone."
Early voting inside Raymond James Stadium will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
But the Supervisor of Elections said access to the voting site could be difficult as Trump supporters are being let in hours ahead of the rally, with doors opening at 10:30 a.m. Officials are expecting traffic delays and parking challenges.
They’re reminding voters there are 25 other Early Voting sites in Hillsborough to choose from. Click here to view a map of locations.
