Vote By Mail

white mailbox with vote-by-mail envelope

Last year, Gov. DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 90, which includes a requirement that Floridians who vote-by-mail must request a mail ballot every general election cycle. This means that your request for a vote-by-mail ballot in 2022 has expired. You have to make another request for vote-by-mail ballots for elections in 2023-2024.

Why Vote by Mail

  • Safer ballots that can be tracked
