Exceptions for emergencies: if you have an emergency after the normal mail deadline, you can designate someone to request your ballot in person, bring it to you, and deliver it back, including on Election Day. Just remember the voted ballot still needs to be received by the time the polls close! Contact your county’s Supervisor of Elections office if you need to use this option — they’ll help you out.

Your ballot needs to be back at your County Supervisor of Elections Office by 7pm on November 3rd, Election Day. So you should pop it in the mail by October 27th or you can drop it off at a secure ballot drop off location in your county.

Heads up that some cities and counties have runoff elections for any races where no candidate gets over 50% of the vote! Keep an eye on local news after Election Day to find out if you have any runoff elections to vote in. Dates and deadlines vary, so check out the elections calendar provided by your county’s Supervisor of Elections office for all the details.

This is important: USPS recently changed its policies and won’t always postmark mail the same day it’s picked up from a mailbox — or even the day after. To guarantee a same-day postmark, you’ll need to go to a post office and ask for a manual postmark. All the more reason to mail things early!

Include your ID/driver’s license number or the last 4 digits of your SSN in the designated area.

Put your ballot in the secrecy envelope provided.

Put the secrecy envelope inside the return envelope and seal it up!

Fill out the Voter Certificate on the back of the envelope and sign where indicated. Make sure your signature matches the one on your voter registration — signature mismatch is a major reason that ballots get rejected in Florida.

Maybe put a stamp on it? Some counties in Florida pay your postage and some don’t, so check the instructions on your particular ballot to see if you need to add postage, and if so, how much.

Your ballot needs to be back at the County Supervisor of Elections Office by 7pm on November 3rd, Election Day. So you should pop it in the mail by October 27th or you can drop it off at a secure ballot drop off location in your county.

If you still have your ballot on Election Day, you can drop it off at your County Supervisor of Elections office or exchange it for a regular ballot at your polling place.

Someone can return your ballot for you — check with your county for specific rules.
