Hundreds of Tampa Bay residents are invited to join <a href="https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/1026318/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">No Kings: Vote Early</a>, a voter engagement event on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Spa Beach Park at the St. Pete Pier.
Beginning at 10 a.m., participants will gather on the beach to form giant human letters spelling "VOTE EARLY," creating a dramatic aerial image and video to encourage eligible voters to plan to participate in the 2026 midterm election.
The St. Petersburg gathering is part of No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of voter participation focused on helping eligible voters understand when, where, and how they can cast their ballots.
Community organizations will be on-site to provide information about early voting, vote-by-mail, and other voting options. Nonpartisan voter guides will also be available to help attendees learn more about the candidates and races on the ballot.
"We want to make sure people understand how important it is to participate in this election and know their options for voting early," said Kelly Harter, event organizer. "Midterm elections are historically ignored. We cannot afford to stay home anymore. When we surrender our vote, we surrender our power. &nbsp;We want people to come out, get informed, and be part of this important community event. Everyone is welcome."
Early voting in Pinellas County begins Monday, Oct. 19, and continues through Sunday, Nov. 1, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
A Visual Call to Vote Unlike a traditional march or rally, the Spa Beach event will center on creating the large-scale "VOTE EARLY" formation.
Participants will be assigned to individual letters and seated on the sand for approximately 30 minutes while aerial photographs and video are captured. Attendees are asked to wear dark blue or black shirts and hats and bring a dark beach towel, sunglasses, and water. Signs are discouraged because they could interfere with the aerial image.
Parking is available at the St. Pete Pier and in the surrounding areas, but it is limited. Carpooling and rideshare services are encouraged.
