Wednesday marked the final day for Florida voters to request an absentee ballot before Election Day.
After Oct. 31, it's too late to request a mail-in ballot. However, if you waited until six days before the election to request a vote-by-mail ballot, in order for the voted ballot to count it still needs to be received by the Supervisor of Elections no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, according to the Florida Division of Elections. Ballots received after Nov. 6 won't be counted.
If you're worried that your ballot won't be received by Election Day, you have two options.
No. 1: Bring your vote-by-mail ballot between now and Election Day to your local polling location and ask to trade it in for an in-person ballot. Even if the voter comes to the polls without the vote-by-mail ballot, the voter will still be able to vote a regular ballot as long as the supervisor of elections' office in your county is able to confirm that it has not already received your vote-by-mail ballot.
No. 2: Take the filled out mail-in ballot to your local elections office between now and Election Day. The voted ballot must be returned and received by the supervisor of elections no later than 7 p.m. on Nov. 6, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
