Everyone that wants to vote by mail needs to re-request their Vote-By-Mail (VBM) ballots for the 2023/2024 General Election cycle. Below are the links to request a vote-by-mail ballot for each of our CLC’s counties, a link to find Supervisors of Elections for all other Florida counties, as well as a link to check the status of your VBM request.

We urge everyone to request vote-by-mail ballots to avoid lines, unexpected situations, possible intimidation, bad weather, etc. If you later decide to vote in person, you can still vote in person. If you decide to vote in person, we suggest that you bring your vote-by-mail ballot with you to have it canceled so you can vote in person. It is not necessary to bring your VBM ballot to vote in person but bringing it with you can save time and avoid any problems.

DON’T WAIT!

Request a Vote-by-Mail Ballot

Requests for vote-by-mail ballots must be received in your local Supervisor of Elections office no later than 5:00 pm on the 10th day before an election.

Only the voter or a designated member of his or her immediate family or legal guardian can request a vote-by-mail ballot for the voter. Immediate family means the designee’s spouse, parent, child, grandparent or sibling of the designee or of the designee’s spouse.

As a voter requesting a vote-by-mail ballot, you must provide your:

• name
