Pamela, Tomorrow, November 5th is Election Day in Florida -- and we can't sit this one out.
Up and down the ballot, from the presidential election to amendments, to county races, we have the chance to cast a ballot for the officials and issues that make the most impact on our everyday lives -- and there's too much at stake to pass up that opportunity.
Our voices matter now more than ever, Pamela. If you haven't already cast your ballot, here's how you can make your voice heard in the 2024 General Election.
Are you planning on voting with a vote-by-mail ballot?
-
If you've received your vote-by-mail ballot but haven't had a chance to send it in… It's too late to mail your ballot back, but you can drop it off at your county Supervisor of Elections' office. To find these offices, visit your county's website. Your vote-by-mail ballot must be dropped off by 7 PM on Election Day.
-
If you've already returned your ballot, you can verify it has been received using your county's official site >>
-
If you haven't received your vote-by-mail ballot or if you lost it… vote in person at your polling place tomorrow.
-
If you've received your ballot but would rather vote in person… You can vote at your assigned polling place tomorrow. We recommend bringing your vote-by-mail ballot to the polling place and surrendering it, but you should still be able to vote a regular ballot if you don't have your vote-by-mail ballot.
Planning on voting in person?
-
Check your polling place location before heading out to vote: Many polling places have been moved or consolidated due redistricting. You can check your polling place here, on your voter information card, or on the Find My Precinct/Where Do I Vote tool on your Supervisor of Elections' website.
-
Remember to bring photo/signature ID from the approved list of IDs.
-
If you don't have ID from the approved list, for example if you lost your documents in the hurricanes, you will be allowed to vote a provisional ballot.
Have any questions or problems voting, either by mail or in person?
-
Call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotlines: 1-866-OUR-VOTE (English), 888-VE-Y-VOTA (Spanish), 844-YALLA-US (Arabic), and 888-API-VOTE (Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, and Tagalog). In Florida, voters also have access to our Haitian-Creole Voter Support line (727-308-3009, press 2).
I hope you have a great time voting, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or suggestions
Thank you for your participation in democracy!
