This is the last weekend of Early Voting before Election Day!
I am excited to make my plan to vote for the general election and wanted to check in to see if you have made yours yet. Take a moment to plan ahead by making your plan to vote>>
Millions of voters throughout Florida and across the country have already cast their ballots in the 2024 General Election, which is sure to be one of the most consequential elections in our lifetimes.
Many Floridians are casting their ballots in new ways -- they may have requested a vote-by-mail ballot for the first time, or they may be voting in a new location because of redistricting or polling place consolidations.
I am thankful that Floridians can vote in several different ways this year. Knowing your options—and which one works best for you—is key, especially given that your options may have changed due to the hurricanes.
- Vote by mail: All vote-by-mail ballots MUST BE SIGNED and received by the county Supervisor of Elections no later than 7:00 pm on November 5th. It is too late to mail your ballot back, so here's how to return it on time:
- Drop It Off at a Secure Drop Box: All Early Voting locations have secure ballot intake stations available during open hours. Some counties also have additional drop boxes. Visit your county Supervisor of Elections website for the locations, days, and hours of all secure drop boxes in your county.
- Deliver it to Your County Supervisor of Elections Office: You can deliver your ballot directly to the Supervisor of Elections office until 7:00 pm (local time) on Election Day.
- In-person early voting: Every county is required to hold early voting until November 2, and many counties have early voting on November 3 as well. Check with your county Supervisors of Elections to see when (and where) you'll be able to vote in person this weekend.
- In-person on Election Day: You can vote in person on Election Day between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. You can find your assigned polling place here. Due to the hurricanes, changes to polling places are possible. These may include different locations, layouts, procedures, and translator availability. If you have questions about your voting options on Election Day, call your county Supervisor of Elections office.
With so much at stake in this election, let us make sure we have a plan to vote. It's never been more important to plan ahead.
So tell me, how will you be voting in the 2024 General Election?
Thanks for making your plan,
