2024 US presidential election just days away
SUMMARY: THV11 is your election central hub, providing essential information as early voting nears its end. Early voting centers are open today from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and conclude Monday at 5 p.m., culminating in Election Day on Tuesday.
