From Clearwater to Bradenton to West Tampa to Hernando and Citrus County, voters turned out to cast ballots for the presidential race, as well as key congressional races and amendments.
Florida, in particular, is a critical swing state for both candidates. Donald Trump campaigned in three Florida cities just Wednesday — Miami, Orlando and Pensacola — and Hillary Clinton made three Sunshine State stops just a day earlier, pushing early voting in Dade City, Sanford and Fort Lauderdale.
Both Clinton and Trump have fought to win Florida, a battleground state. Florida's 29 electoral college votes could tip the election.
Here's the latest on Election Day from across the Bay area, Florida and beyond:
6:50 p.m.
Pinellas County had 164,278 votes cast on Election Day, with a combined 330,158 mail-in and early ballots. Hillsborough County had 168,004 Election Day votes, with more than 400,000 mail-in plus early ballots.
5 p.m.
Fewer than half of voters who cast presidential ballots say they made their choice out of a strong preference for their candidate.
That's according to preliminary results of the exit poll conducted for The Associated Press and television networks by Edison Research.
The early exit polls found both Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton are viewed unfavorably by a majority of the presidential electorate. A majority of the electorate also distrusts each of them.
4 p.m.
A software glitch that indicated scores of voters showing up at the polls had already cast ballots has led to voting delays in one of North Carolina's most heavily Democratic counties.
The state is considered a major swing state in the presidential race.
North Carolina Board of Elections lawyer Josh Lawson says officials in Durham County quickly concluded that there was a problem with their electronic poll books and began relying on paper rolls to confirm voter registrations.
2:20 p.m.
It could be the first lawsuit of Election Day. Donald Trump's campaign is alleging polling place "anomalies" during early voting in the Las Vegas area last week. A lawsuit filed Tuesday in Nevada court asks that records from four early voting spots that allegedly stayed open too late last Friday be impounded and preserved.
1:10 p.m.
Few issues reported around the Bay area's polling places. Most counties have reported heavy early voting.
11:40 a.m.
As of mid-morning Tuesday, almost 40,000 Pinellas voters (38,000) have turned out to polling places to vote.
10:00 a.m.
Trouble already at the polls?
A voter in Anna Maria Island said his vote, along with about 60 others, was being challeneged in the city commission race between Brian F. Seymour, Chuck Webb and Nancy Yetter.
Voters are apparently being challenged over residential status in Manatee County.
However, the canvassing board is not meeting until 5 p.m. today to verify residents' addresses.
Voter fraud may or may not be determined but either way, this race likely won't be decided tonight.
9:20 a.m.
Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Office reports 25,000 voters voted in first two hours after polls opened. The office has 3100 poll workers and other staff roaming the county for any reported issues.
8:25 a.m.
More than half of Florida's active registered voters have already cast ballots ahead of Election Day.
Numbers released by the state Division of Elections early Tuesday show that 6.51 million voters have either voted early or voted by mail. There are nearly 12.9 million active registered voters.
Early voting wrapped up over the weekend, but election supervisors can continue to accept mailed in ballots until 7 p.m. on Election Day.
The new numbers show Democrats have built up a more than 90,000 vote lead over Republicans. So far 2.59 million Democrats have voted compared to 2.5 million Republicans.
More than 1.25 million voters registered with no party affiliation have also voted.
Florida could surpass its overall vote total from 2012. During that presidential election more than 8.5 million people voted.
8 a.m.
In Gainesville, three University of Florida students were among the millions of the state's voters who voted early.
Two of them — 21-year-olds Austin Young and TJ Pyche — cast ballots for Democrat Hillary Clinton. In fact, Pyche says he was a registered Republican who changed his party affiliation to no party after John Kasich lost to Donald Trump. The third, 22-year-old Michael Beato, declined to say who he voted for. But he was a Jeb Bush supporter in the presidential primaries.
All three say they are glad to see the divisive campaign coming to an end, and hope the country can start to heal after Election Day, no matter who becomes president.
Down ballot, all three voted against Amendment 1, which could allow power companies to impose fees on customers who install solar panels.
Young and Pyche also voted in favor of a Amendment 2, which would legalize medical marijuana.
