Don't forget to put your ballot in the return envelope provided and sign the envelope. It is important to keep your signature/identifying mark up to date with the Elections Office. Your signature on file with the Elections Office is used to verify the signature on your vote-by-mail ballot certificate envelope. You can update your signature/identifying mark by completing and submitting a Florida Voter Registration Application to the Elections Office before your voted ballot is received. For more information, visit our Register to Vote / Update Your Information page.
Your ballot must be received at the Supervisor of Elections office by 7 p.m. on Election Day for it to be counted.
