Voting
Voting options: Florida voters can vote one of three convenient ways: vote-by-mail upon request, vote during early voting, or voting on Election Day. See more information about voting by mail.
Deadline to return ballot: The voted vote-by-mail ballot for stateside voters must be received, regardless of postmark date, no later than 7:00 p.m. (local time) on the day of the General Election, November 3, 2020.
Recommended ballot return time: The United States Postal Service recommends that domestic nonmilitary voters mail back their voted ballots at least one (1) week before the Election Day deadline to account for any unforeseen events or weather issues. The Federal Voting Assistance Program provides specific recommended return timelines (see timetables at the bottom of their website) for absent military and overseas voters. Other options, if time does not allow for timely return by mail, include in person delivery, secure drop boxes (see below for more information) , or expedited or special courier services.
Drop boxes: Voted vote-by-mail ballots may be returned to secure drop boxes at Supervisor of Elections' main and branch offices and early voting sites. Visit your county Supervisor of Elections' website for the location and times of secure drop boxes for timely return. Contact information can be found here.
