Voting by mail
Request a mail ballot online, or by phone, email, fax or mail, by 5 p.m. Oct. 22. Return it by mail so it arrives by 7 p.m. on Election Day, or drop it at an early voting site’s drop box during voting hours, or at the Supervisor of Elections office on Election Day. Mail it early so the office can reach you if there is a problem with your signature.
If you voted in the city’s April 21 mail-only special election, that ballot did not count as a request for future mail ballots, the city clerk’s office said. Ask for one if you want it.
Election Day and ID
On Nov. 3 you must vote at your assigned polling place; look it up with the voter information tool. Bring a current photo ID with your signature, such as a Florida driver’s license or ID card, a U.S. passport or a military ID. The full list is on the county’s Election Day page. A voter whose eligibility cannot be confirmed votes a provisional ballot.
