Florida Heads to the Polls

If you’re unsure if you’ve requested a vote-by-mail ballot in 2024, you can check at the Duval Supervisor of Elections website’s voter lookup tool.

Once you’ve confirmed that you need to make the request, a button will take you to the online form where you can make the request.

To request a vote by mail ballot, you will need your driver’s license number, Florida ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number.

Not in Duval? Here’s a list of the vote-by-mail request links for every county in Florida: https://allvotingislocal.org/how-to-vote-by-mail-in-florida/. 

You must request your VBM ballot by Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. for the Nov. 5 election. If you requested it in August, you do not need to re-request it for November.

The Supervisor of Elections must receive your VBM ballot by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Keep this in mind if you are putting it in the mail! The postmark on the envelope will not matter; it is when it is received that counts.

If you prefer to return your mail-in ballot in person, you can drop it off at any early voting site, at your assigned precinct or at the Supervisor of Elections main office on Election Day. 

The Duval Supervisor of Elections has a video and website with instructions on voting by mail.

One last thing — if someone else is picking up or returning your VBM ballot for you, make sure you understand the rules. It’s best if it’s an immediate family member.
